WHAT HAPPENED? Despite bolstering their midfield with quality signings like Alexis Mac Allister, Dominik Szoboszlai, Wataru Endo and Ryan Gravenberch in the summer, the Reds are keen to further add firepower in midfield with the signing of Thuram, according to a report in Tutto Juve.
A host of other rivals including Juventus, Manchester City, Paris Saint-Germain, and Borussia Dortmund, are also believed to have set sights on the midfielder.
THE BIGGER PICTURE: Despite the interest of multiple suitors, it is understood that Liverpool are the favourites to land Thuram from the French outfit. The 22-year-old who has made six starts this season, is tied to a contract with Nice until 2025 and could potentially cost €40m (£34.61m/$42.18m).
