manchester united has joined Arsenal and Liverpool in the race to sign OGC Nice midfielder Khephren Thuram this summer, according to HITC.
The 23-year-old French midfielder has the attributes to become a top player and his performances have put him on the radar of multiple English clubs. The report says that Arsenal and Liverpool have shown strong interest in the midfielder, while players such as Tottenham and Newcastle They have also been linked.
However, Man Utd are the latest club to express interest. Thuram is valued at £30 million by Transfer market but Nice can look further and create a bidding war between interested clubs this summer.
At Manchester United, he could replace Sofyan Amrabat, who will leave the club in the summer. The Red Devils are unlikely to make his loan permanent after a disappointing season.
Thuram would add creativity, drive and defensive cover to the United team. The Frenchman has all the attributes to become a complete midfielder with the right guidance.
He was linked to the transfer to the first division at the beginning of the season, but the change did not materialize. He has shown his quality in the French league and moving to England would be a big step forward in his career. He will look to prove himself at a high level against the best players in the world.
Arsenal and Liverpool want Thuram
Thuram would be a great signing for Man Utd, however, they face competition from Arsenal, Liverpool and others. The Frenchman has the quality to improve all three clubs and it will be interesting to see where he ends up.
Arsenal need to sign a quality central midfielder, especially if they decide to part ways with Thomas Partey in the summer. Thuram could form a quality partnership with Declan Rice in the heart of their midfield.
Arsenal have done well to develop talented young players over the years and they could also play a key role in the development of the Nice midfielder.
Meanwhile, Liverpool will need to add more quality to the squad, especially if Thiago Alcantara leaves in the summer. He will be a free agent at the end of this season and a contract extension seems unlikely at this point.
Arsenal and Liverpool would be tempting destinations for Thuram, but Man Utd could be the favorites due to their new owners, INESO, also owning a majority stake in Nice.
