Liverpool are set to battle it out with their rivals Manchester United for the signature of an impressive midfielder this summer, according to reports from TuttoJuve.
The Reds could be set for some changes in the middle of the park, with Curtis Jones expected to leave as he enters the final year of his deal, while Alexis Mac Allister is also linked with an exit.
Attention then turns towards incoming players and possible replacements, as Adam Wharton and Alex Scott have been linked with a potential move to Anfield.
However, there is a fresh option on the cards for Liverpool, with a French international now on the club's radar for the summer.
Liverpool Want Khephren Thuram
Khephren Thuram
Reports from Italian outlet TuttoJuve claim that Liverpool are eyeing a move for Juventus midfielder Khephren Thuram this summer, who could be on the market.
The Merseyside outfit could be set to battle it out with their rivals Manchester United, though, as they are also listed as a team with interest in the 25-year-old.
Thuram has been a regular for Juventus ever since he made the move from OGC Nice in 2024, making just shy of 100 appearances for the Bianconeri in that time.
His availability on the market for a bargain, relative to others being touted with a move to the Premier League, could make the midfielder an attractive option.
Juventus are yet to set a price tag for a possible exit, but discussions in the €45-50 million (£38.8-43.1 million) range could tempt a move for the star.
It remains to be seen whether Liverpool could jump at that offer, which may make Thuram the second French international on the radar this summer, while the Reds continue to pursue a move for Bradley Barcola.

Thuram Would Add Quality
Khephren Thuram
If Liverpool were to make a move for Thuram, then it would add some serious quality into the midfield that may be needed heading into next season.
It's clear that the Reds need extra energy in the middle, and with the potential exits of Jones and Mac Allister, both quality and depth will be required.
Thuram has been described as "spectacular" since joining Juventus, largely playing in a deep-lying role in the midfield ranks for the Serie A club.

Personal Terms Agreed: £55m Star Ready to Join Liverpool if FSG Sanction Deal
Liverpool have already agreed personal terms for a potential return this summer, if a buy-back clause is activated.
At six-foot-four-inches tall, he has the build of someone ready to compete in the Premier League, along with the age profile that would see him spend his peak years in the division.
Throw a reasonable transfer fee into the mix, and it appears to be a deal that would clearly suit Liverpool in the current market conditions.
