Liverpool Nears Deal for Cut-Price £34m-£39m Star
Khephren Thuram’s summer transfer to Liverpool from OGC Nice is getting closer and closer.
The French international is eager to come to Anfield, and the Reds are in negotiations to finalize the deal, Football Insider reported over the weekend.
Journalist Rudy Galetti revealed yesterday that the Merseysiders have no trouble reaching a personal arrangement with the 23-year-old midfielder.
Additionally, negotiations to establish a fee arrangement between £34m and £39m are moving forward. The Liverpool club is anticipated to receive a discount.
The Athletic reported earlier this month that Nice is seeking a transfer cost of roughly £50 million for its young starlet, who was named to the Ligue 1 Team of the Season.
Thuram is a gifted player with the ability to press and break up play consistently. He enjoys to tackle and dribble past center midfield to into the attacking third.
He scored two goals and assisted on eight others during the previous campaign, which is an excellent offensive performance for a holding midfielder by nature.
Liverpool failed to qualify for the Champions League and have not sufficiently bolstered their team this summer, in contrast to Arsenal, who failed to win the title last season and have already reinforced their roster with numerous acquisitions.
We already have an aging midfield and allowed players like Keita, Ox and Millie to leave for free, still, FSG have only sanctioned one midfield signing in the form of Mac Allister.
Let’s hope the Reds can secure the deal to land Thuram at the earlies
