Liverpool signed 2022 World Cup winner Alexis Mac Allister from Brighton last month for £35m, eventually rising to £55m with add-ons.
It has since been reported that RB Leipzig midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai has arrived on Merseyside ahead of undergoing a medical after Liverpool triggered his £60m release clause on Friday (the day it was due to expire
After signing two midfielders for just over a potential £100m, many fans likely assumed that the Merseysiders were done improving their midfield this summer and may turn their attention to right-back or centre-back.
Now though, according to journalist Rudy Galetti, Liverpool are now intensifying their efforts to sign 22-year-old French midfielder, Khephren Thuram.
Unlike Mac Allister and Szoboszlai, though, Thuram is a more defensive-minded option for the Reds, so he may be used in the Fabinho role or in a similar way to Georginio Wijnaldum
Like with Szoboszlai, Liverpool are also understood to be facing competition for Thuram from Newcastle United.
No potential transfer fee is mentioned in the update from Rudy Galetti.
