Liverpool and Man United zero in on 24-year-old rising midfield star

Liverpool and Manchester United are reportedly interested in signing the French international midfielder Khephren Thuram.

According to a report from TEAMtalk, both teams are looking to improve their midfield and have identified the 24-year-old as a target. Manchester United have been long-term admirers of the international, and they have been keeping tabs on him since his days with OGC Nice.

Meanwhile, Liverpool has been monitoring the player for quite some time and believes he could elevate their midfield.

Thuram has done quite well since joining Italian club Juventus, and he has no plans to leave the club yet. The report claims that he could commit his long-term future to the club by signing a new contract. The development will come as a blow to Manchester United and Liverpool.

They need more quality in the middle of the park, and the 24-year-old could have been ideal. He is excellent at carrying the ball, bringing physicality and defensive steel to the team. He has been a complete midfielder for Juventus.

At 24, there is plenty of room for improvement, and with experience, he could develop into a top-class player. There is no doubt that he is good enough to play for the biggest clubs in the world. It will be interesting to see if he decides to sign an extension with the Italian outfit. It would certainly close any potential door to the Premier League for now.

Meanwhile, Manchester United and Liverpool need more quality in the middle of the park, and they should move on to other targets if they fail to sign the Frenchman.
