The Bianconeri need to balance their financial books by June 30 and require a capital gain of around \u00a310-11 million.<\/p>\n<p>Thuram is one of their most valuable assets and could be permitted to leave for \u00a335 million to \u00a339 million. Saudi Pro League giants Ah-Ahli have expressed an interest alongside Galatasaray, but Thuram does not fancy joining either.<\/p>\n<p>He has his sights on moving to the Premier League this summer. Liverpool are mentioned as one of the suitors. <a href=\"https:\/\/football-talk.co.uk\/topics\/manchester-united\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"4\" title=\"Man Utd news\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Manchester United<\/a> and Nottingham Forest have been highlighted as potential competitors for the ex-Nice man.<\/p>\n<h3>Possible deal<\/h3>\n<p>Liverpool have had Alexis Mac Allister and Ryan Gravenberch as the regular midfield pairing. Dominic Szoboszlai and Curtis Jones have provided competition, but the latter has been linked with a move to Serie A with Inter Milan.<\/p>\n<p>The Anfield outfit may want to bring in another quality midfielder to provide depth and competition. Thuram would be a fine acquisition. He can operate in the number 6 and number 8 roles, and has impressed with his overall attributes.<\/p>\n<p>The France international completed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sofascore.com\/football\/player\/khephren-thuram\/904832#tab:season\" rel=\"nofollow  noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">87% of his passes<\/span><\/a> in Serie A last campaign. He also won made 4 recoveries and 2 tackles per game, and also caught the eye with his goal involvements. He managed 9 from 45 appearances for the Bianconeri.<\/p>\n<p>Thuram has generally played as the left-sided midfielder and could be seen as a competitor to Mac Allister. He is just in the prime of his career at 25, and the reported price tag of \u00a335 million would represent a bargain for his qualities.<\/p>\n<p>Man United are also mentioned as contenders for his signature, but they have other priorities. They have just secured a deal for Atalanta\u2019s Ederson and are now prioritising a move for <a href=\"https:\/\/football-talk.co.uk\/tag\/west-ham\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"26\" title=\"West Ham news\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">West Ham<\/a> United\u2019s Mateus Fernandes and may not enter the race.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!--mvp-post-tags--><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!--posts-nav-link--><\/p>\n<div class=\"mvp-org-wrap\" itemprop=\"publisher\" itemscope=\"\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Organization\">\n<div class=\"mvp-org-logo\" itemprop=\"logo\" itemscope=\"\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"250\" height=\"50\" src=\"https:\/\/football-talk.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/new-logo.png\"\/><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<meta itemprop=\"url\" content=\"https:\/\/football-talk.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/new-logo.png\"\/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p><!--mvp-org-logo--><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<meta itemprop=\"name\" content=\"Football Talk | Premier League News\"\/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p><!--mvp-org-wrap-->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/football-talk.co.uk\/234054\/liverpool-interested-in-signing-khephren-thuram\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Liverpool are among the Premier League clubs interested in signing Juventus midfielder Khephren Thuram this month.
