Liverpool have reportedly ended their pursuit of Khephren Thuram as Jurgen Klopp switched his attention towards Romeo Lavia.
According to This is Anfield, Liverpool may have ended their pursuit of Khephren Thuram despite holding concrete talks with the player’s entourage. Jurgen Klopp may feel the need for a more defensive-minded midfielder, with Romeo Lavia the preferred name on his shortlist
Liverpool continues to make waves in the transfer window as Jurgen Klopp continues to strengthen his squad as per his specifications. Before the market opened, the need to strengthen the midfield looked essential, and the club have done a good bit of business so far.
After the promising capture of Alexis Mac Allister from Brighton, Liverpool recently signed Dominik Szoboszlai from RB Leipzig. Klopp sanctioned the move with the club, triggering his release clause worth €70 million. With the arrival of the Hungaria, the manager might switch his attention to a more defensive-minded midfielder, thus placing doubts on a move for Khephren Thuram
The 22-year-old Frenchman was a key target for Klopp before the Szoboszlai deal. Liverpool were close to signing Thuram at one stage, but their preferences have changed. The OGC Nice star started his career as a defensive midfielder but has moulded his style around a more attack-minded player in recent seasons.
