Claim Liverpool deal for €35m midfielder – Reds have financial edge over competition
Currently in second place in the Premier League after 14 games, Liverpool are looking to climb higher up the table in the coming weeks. They are currently two points behind leaders Arsenal and the January transfer window is the perfect time to strengthen an already strong squad if the right signing comes along. Corriere Torino suggested on Monday that Liverpool are actively looking for the midfielder as they mention the Reds in a lengthy article on what signings Juventus could make in the coming weeks. One of the targets on the Torino club’s radar is OGC Nice star Khephren Thuram, who was already interested in the Premier League team last summer. The deal was never completed but interest continued and the Italian newspaper now claims Liverpool have taken matters into their own hands. Manu Koné’s price tag at Borussia Mönchengladbach is €25-30m, which could force Juventus to “think again in June” if they have more money, it has been revealed. This would also apply to Thuram, who, according to Nice’s estimation, is “negotiating” an agreement with Liverpool for 35-40 million euros. This is the first we’ve heard of it, even from France, so it’s certainly something to watch out for in the coming days, but the good news for the Reds is that they have a clear financial advantage over Juventus, who, apart from a few, are excellent. sale, should wait for this price to be reached.
