According to reports, Nice midfielder Khephren Thuram is still a target for Liverpool to sign.
Following the exits of James Milner, Fabinho, Jordan Henderson, Naby Keita, and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, the Reds were strongly connected to the Frenchman throughout the summer.
But the deal fell through, as Liverpool decided to sign Wataru Endo, Alexis Mac Allister, Dominik Szoboszlai, and Ryan Gravenberch to strengthen their midfield instead.
Despite having several options for central midfield, the Reds are always monitoring possible targets for upcoming transfer windows.
Thuram, a Nice player with a contract that expires in the summer of 2025, is reportedly of interest to Liverpool.
Thuram seems to be a good fit for the Merseyside club, which is reportedly eager to add young, talented players to its roster.
The 22-year-old is reportedly admired by Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp, who is trying to assemble a team that can contend for big titles.
Thuram is currently in the last two years of his contract, and it is thought that a sum of money around €45 million (£38.3 million) would be sufficient to entice him to leave the Ligue 1 team.
According to a recent source, Real Madrid, the Spanish powerhouse, was also thinking about making a move for the France international in the future.

He is probably going to stay with the French team until the end of the season, despite the fact that clubs are still keeping an eye on his condition.
Nice, led by Francesco Farioli, is performing well in Ligue 1, thus the club would be hesitant to split ways with Thuram halfway through the season.
Nice is presently four points behind leaders Paris Saint-Germain in second place, having amassed 29 points from 14 league games this season.
Thuram has started 11 of his 12 games in the top division this season, making him a constant in Farioli’s starting lineup.
With Nice since leaving Monaco in the summer of 2019, the midfield player has made 150 appearances and provided eight goals and eleven assists.
