Reports suggest that Liverpool FC are preparing to make a move for Khéphren Thuram this summer, with the club reportedly willing to submit a bid of around €45 million to sign the midfielder from Juventus FC.
According to reports cited by outlets including BBC Sport and CaughtOffside, Liverpool’s recruitment team are already planning potential midfield reinforcements ahead of the next transfer window. The French international has emerged as one of the names under serious consideration.
Thuram has developed into one of the most highly rated midfielders in European football since moving to Juventus, impressing with his powerful running, ball-carrying ability and physical presence in central midfield. The 24-year-old has made over 30 appearances this season, establishing himself as an important part of Juventus’ midfield.
Liverpool are believed to value Thuram’s ability to operate as a box-to-box midfielder, capable of contributing both defensively and in attacking transitions. His athletic profile is something the club reportedly see as a potential upgrade in the middle of the pitch.
However, competition for the player could be intense. Reports suggest that Manchester United and Arsenal FC are also monitoring Thuram’s situation, meaning Liverpool may face a battle to secure his signature if they move ahead with an offer.
There is also some uncertainty over the price. While Liverpool are believed to be considering a €45m opening bid, Juventus may demand significantly more, with estimates suggesting the Italian club could value the midfielder closer to €65-75 million due to his importance and long-term contract.
If Liverpool do pursue the deal, it could signal another attempt to strengthen the midfield area following the club’s major rebuild in recent seasons.
With the summer window still months away, the situation remains one to watch — but Thuram is clearly a player attracting serious Premier League attention.
