According to reports, Liverpool has met with the ‘perfect’ midfielder’s entourage, and he could be signed for as little as £34 million.

Liverpool are said to have met with Khephren Thuram’s entourage following reports that the OGC Nice is now a target for Jurgen Klopp’s side

The Reds have been in talks with the 22-year-old’s team, according to RMC Sport, as interest in the midfielder grows. According to the report, Liverpool could reach an agreement with Nice for as little as €40 million (£34 million) to bring the youngster to Anfield.

Thuram, a talent lauded by RMC Sport journalist Alex Jaquin for having the ‘perfect’ profile, is one of Europe’s most sought-after youngsters, having established himself as a Ligue 1 superstar as well as a member of the France national team.

With Liverpool looking for several midfielders this summer, Thuram makes a lot of sense as a potential signing. And, with the club now in discussions with the player’s entourage, a potential deal could be well on its way.

Thuram’s meteoric rise has been one of the best stories in football over the last 12 months. And, with Liverpool stepping up their interest in the midfielder, there’s a good chance that an opening offer to sign him will be made soon.

Thuram could thrive alongside Mac Allister at Liverpool.

Thuram, a 22-year-old midfielder, has the size to dominate any division in Europe as well as the technical and mental intelligence to control the tempo of any game with the right set of players. And Liverpool could be the ideal next destination for the Frenchman.

Thuram has everything he needs to succeed at Anfield, including the impending arrival of Alexis MacAllister. And, under a coach like Klopp, the midfielder could easily become one of the best in the world if given the right treatment and platform to advance his game.
