Liverpool Revive Interest in Khéphren Thuram as Juventus Open Sale

Liverpool have circled back to a familiar name. Khéphren Thuram is back on their radar, with Corriere dello Sport reporting that the Juventus midfielder has re-emerged as a serious option for the Anfield club.

This is not a new crush. During Jürgen Klopp’s time in charge, Liverpool pushed hard for the French international while he was still at OGC Nice. At one stage, they looked well placed to bring him to Merseyside, viewing him as a long-term piece for a rebuilding midfield. The groundwork was there, the admiration clear, the fit obvious.

The move never happened. Thuram chose Turin instead, swapping Ligue 1 for Serie A and joining Juventus. The reasons for Liverpool’s failure to close the deal remain unclear, but the door that seemed to slam shut then is edging open again now.

Juventus are increasingly expected to sanction a sale this summer. That single decision changes the entire landscape. A player once considered out of reach is suddenly back on the market, and Liverpool are not alone in sensing opportunity.

Manchester United are watching. So are Nottingham Forest. Both clubs have registered their interest, turning Thuram’s future into a potential Premier League tug-of-war. For United, it is a chance to refresh a midfield that has looked unbalanced. For Forest, it is a bold play for top-tier talent to anchor their ambitions.

For Liverpool, though, this carries a different weight. Thuram is a name that has hovered over their recruitment plans for years. They once led the race and let it slip. Now, with Juventus open to a sale and the midfielder at 25, entering what should be his prime, the question is simple:

Do they move decisively this time, or watch another rival take the chance they passed up before?
