Liverpool, Borussia Dortmund, and Bayern Munich Retain Interest in Nice Midfielder Khéphren Thuram

According to a report from Foot Mercato, Liverpool, Borussia Dortmund, and Bayern Munich are still interested in Nice midfielder and France international Khéphren Thuram. The 22-year-old has attracted attention from top-tier clubs in Europe following his breakout season with Les Aiglons. Thuram, the youngest son of legendary French centre-back Lilian Thuram, is tied to the Riviera club with a contract set to expire in 2025.

While L’Équipe had recently reported that Thuram was expected to remain at Nice for another season in Ligue 1, Foot Mercato suggests that a summer transfer is still possible. The report claims that Nice would be willing to listen to any club willing to meet their €50m asking price for the midfielder.

Although newly-appointed Nice coach Francesco Farioli expects to field Thuram in a 3-man midfield, several clubs have shown interest in the player, including Borussia Dortmund, Liverpool, and Bayern Munich. While Dortmund are said to be keen on signing Thuram, they reportedly consider his price to be too high. Meanwhile, Liverpool still rate him highly, and Thomas Tuchel is reportedly interested in bringing Thuram to Bayern Munich to bolster their midfield.

While Thuram reportedly would like to play in a continental competition next season, something Nice cannot offer him, he has no intention of forcing a move away from the Allianz Riviera. It remains to be seen whether any of the interested clubs will make a move for the talented midfielder before the end of the transfer window.
