Liverpool signed Alexis Mac Allister from Brighton earlier this month for a fee of £35m, which could eventually rise to £55m with add-ons.
A number of other central midfielders have also been linked with an Anfield switch.
One of those names is Khephren Thuram of Nice and now, Sky Sports reporter Dharmesh Sheth has spoken out on those links:
“Khephren Thuram is another player that they have been interested in,” Sheth told GiveMeSport.
“It’ll be one of those that Liverpool will just do behind the scenes, and it will be one of those where, you know, you’ll start getting noises quite late on and once those noises start, the deal will be done pretty quickly. So, I think they know who their targets are.”
No potential transfer fee is mentioned in that report, but a previous asking price of €51m has been touted for the 22-year-old, who is under contract with his current club until 2025.
