Liverpool 'pushing' to sign Thuram

The report states that a meeting has been held with Thuram's entourage over a possible deal, with Liverpool 'pushing' to sign the 22-year-old.

Indeed, the Merseyside outfit are said to have made moves ‘more concretely’ than others, and, unbeknown to many, have been in talks ‘for a few weeks’.

While Nice are said to value the France international at around €60 million, far less than Mac Allister is expected to cost.

However, the French club 'aren't ready to sell' their prized asset this summer, meaning any potential negotiations could prove tricky.

When asked about transfer rumours recently, Thuram was considered in his response, explaining: “I want to progress, be on the pitch, have fun.

"For now, I’m at Nice, and that’s going very well, I really like the club, so I still see myself at Nice. I am happy at Nice. There are rumours, I hear them, but I’m happy at Nice and I hope to grow with this club.”

Only time will tell whether Thuram, brother of Borussia Mönchengladbach's Marcus Thuram, will be wearing a Liverpool shirt next season, but the latest reports suggest Klopp is eager to bring the dynamic midfielder to Anfield.
