Liverpool are among the Premier League clubs interested in signing Juventus midfielder Khephren Thuram this month.
The Merseyside giants had a disappointing 2025/26 season as they finished 5th in the league standings. New Reds manager Andoni Iraola may want reinforcement in multiple positions and a new midfielder could be targeted.

Man United are also mentioned as contenders for his signature, but they have other priorities. They have just secured a deal for Atalanta’s Ederson and are now prioritising a move for West Ham United’s…
