Liverpool They are reportedly interested in signing Inter Milan star Marcus Thuram, according to a Spanish outlet. Transfers.
After moving to the Giuseppe Meazza Stadium as a free agent last year, the Frenchman enjoyed a stellar debut campaign in Serie A last season, contributing 20 goals in 35 league appearances. He even helped his team win the Scudetto title.
Now, the forward has also continued to perform at his best this season, scoring eight goals and registering two assists in 13 appearances in all competitions. He is also a key player for the France team under Didier Deschamps.
Transfers affirm that with Mohamed SalahMichael's future remains at stake as his current contract is set to expire at the end of this season, Liverpool plan to sign a new attacker to strengthen the front line and Thuram is on their radar.
The player still has three and a half years left on his current contract and the Nerazzurri value their star at around £71m. The striker is happy with the Italian giants so he doesn't want to leave yet, so the Reds will have to find a way to convince him to join the club if they formalize their interest.
Thuram to Liverpool
The Spanish outlet claims that Thuram is not the only option on Arne Slot's wish list to reinforce the squad, as Real Sociedad star Takefusa Kubo is also on it.
The Frenchman is a versatile player as he can play on the left wing, in the center forward position and as a second striker. However, he is not a right winger, so he would not be an ideal option to replace Salah.
On the other hand, Kubo is a specialist left-footed right-back and would be a better option than Thuram to replace the Egyptian international.
However, it will be interesting to see if the Anfield club finally make a concrete decision to sign Thuram next year.
Meanwhile, Liverpool are currently at the top of the first division table with 28 points in 11 games, five points ahead of the current champion city of manchester. They will now resume their campaign after the international break when they face Southampton in the league this weekend.
