Liverpool and Man United eye move for Khephren Thuram

Liverpool and Manchester United are monitoring Juventus midfielder Khephren Thuram as a potential summer transfer target. A report from Tuttosport estimates the cost at around €50 million, and Juventus is reportedly looking at Franck Kessie as his replacement if Thuram leaves. The 25-year-old is described as having impressed in Serie A, contributing toward nine goals across all competitions last season, and is portrayed as a hardworking midfielder with creativity, drive and physicality. The clubs’ interest is linked to a need for more control, composure and defensive strength in central midfield, and both are said to value his development potential. With Thuram still aged 25 and Liverpool offering the prospect of Champions League football, the key question is whether both teams will pay the reported €50 million, quoted as £43 million.
