Khepren Thuram: Liverpool Set to Finalise Offer for Midfielder
Liverpool are reportedly waiting to “finalise” their offer for 22-year-old French international midfielder Khepren Thuram. According to a reputable French outlet, the Reds have set a price tag of €40 million (£34.3m) for the Nice player.
What We Know About Khepren Thuram
Khepren Thuram is a 22-year-old French international midfielder currently playing for Nice. He has been strongly linked with a move to Liverpool in the current transfer window, with the Reds reportedly setting a price tag of €40 million (£34.3m).
Why Liverpool Want Khepren Thuram
Liverpool are in need of midfield reinforcements and Thuram is seen as an exciting prospect. Ibrahima Konate recently described him as like a “little brother” and said he hopes to play with Thuram next season at Liverpool. The Reds are also known for their shrewd business and if they were to sign Thuram for a fee of £34 million, it would represent another piece of good business.
When Will Khepren Thuram Join Liverpool?
Liverpool are reportedly waiting until the end of the U21 Euros to finalise an offer close to Nice’s expectations. The first of Klopp’s players are set to arrive back at the AXA Training Centre on July 8, but the manager has maintained that he intends to give every player a three-week break before making a pre-season return. This means that Thuram could join the Reds later than the rest of the squad.
Conclusion
Khepren Thuram is an exciting prospect and clearly has backers at Liverpool. With a price tag set, the Reds are now waiting to “finalise” their offer for the 22-year-old French international midfielder. If Nice were to accept an offer in the region of £34 million for Thuram, it should represent another piece of shrewd business by the Reds. However, due to his involvement in the U21 Euros, Thuram could join the Reds later than the rest of the squad.
