Jurgen Klopp is reportedly eager to bring Khephren Thuram to Liverpool in January, with Juventus also interested in the OGC Nice midfielder.

According to Tutto Juve, the Anfield boss is keen to bring in a physical and defensive-minded midfielder in the upcoming transfer window, with Thuram emerging as a top option for Liverpool.

As per the report, Klopp is ‘strongly interested’ in the £25m-rated talent, and Thuram could finally be heading to Merseyside after a summer of being linked with the Premier League giants.

Having already signed four midfielders this summer, an extra body in the position could be of use for Liverpool heading into 2024.

And Thuram could be an outstanding addition, with the youngster one of the most exciting prospects in Europe and a player who has been linked with a move to Anfield for some time.

Indeed, the battle for Thuram appears to be heating up already some months before the opening of the January window, and Liverpool have to position themselves in the best place possible for the midfielder.

Thuram is firmly back on Liverpool’s radar after rumours went cool in the August section of the summer transfer window.

And heading into January, the Reds need to ensure that they are the side who win the midfielder’s signature, with the 22-year-old simply too exciting a prospect to miss out on.

Interest from Juventus might be an issue, though. Yet with Liverpool now back in the race, Thuram could be convinced to join the Anfield side if they’re quick enough in the market.
