Major Transfer Heartbreak Looms for Liverpool!

Moving ahead to the kickoff of the 2023/24 season, Khephren Thuram remained with Nice, despite earlier strong links to Liverpool. The Reds, during this time, bolstered their midfield by acquiring four other players.

Even if Jurgen Klopp’s team decides to rekindle their interest in Thuram later on, the advice given by Lilian Thuram’s agent, as detailed on X by Football Transfers, could pose a significant obstacle to their pursuit.

The question arises: Do Liverpool really need Thuram? While the Frenchman’s ability to operate in a holding role could be appealing amid their search for a No.6, there are concerns. Thuram is often likened more to Madrid’s Federico Valverde (according to FBref), and his natural position is higher up the pitch. With a playing style that registers in the 88th percentile for touches in the attacking penalty area, Thuram doesn’t exactly fit the profile of a deep-lying player.
