According to Liverpool, Marcus Thuram may not be good news for Nunez

The forward for Gladbach is a “monster” and is unrestricted this summer.

Marcus Thuram of Borussia Monchengladbach is attracting interest from Liverpool as his £53,000-per-week deal with the German Bundesliga team expires this summer.

What has changed recently in Liverpool’s search for Marcus Thuram?

According to Spanish news reports, Thuram has been chosen as a cunning replacement for Roberto Firmino, who will leave Anfield at the conclusion of his contract.

Given the urgent need for midfield reinforcements, some supporters would be hesitant to seek a forward this summer, but Thuram is both productive and exciting, and he may be too good to pass up given that he will soon become a free agent.

The 25-year-old is coveted by teams like Manchester United, Newcastle United, and Tottenham Hotspur, therefore Reds manager Jurgen Klopp needs to move quickly if he wants to land the star.

Marcus Thuram should Liverpool sign him?

Supporters may be excused for thinking that Thuram, a towering forward at 6 feet 4, plays a poaching role as the center of attention.

While he is a terrifying figure with his aerial menace, according to WhoScored, the dynamic attacker’s game incorporates a variety of diverse skills. He has won a lifetime average of 2.2 of his aerial bouts.

The ten-cap Frenchman would undoubtedly provide firepower in a variety of roles under Klopp’s guidance, possibly consolidating the Liverpool attack’s effectiveness with his blend of direct potency, creative flair, and quick-footed physicality. He is a capable offensive weapon across the scope of the front three positions.

In the top 24% of forwards in the top five leagues in Europe over the past year for non-penalty goals, top 13% for assists, top 12% for progressive carries, and top 13% for successful take-ons per 90, according to FBref.

Thuram, described as a “physical monster” by Herve Renard, is expected to move to Anfield, which might put Darwin Nunez—a £85 million club record acquisition—in risk. The Uruguayan striker’s first season in England has fluctuated between devastating brilliance and agonizing profligacy.

In just 26 starts for the Reds this season, Nunez scored 15 goals and provided four assists, but his alarming wastefulness in front of goal has left those connected lamenting his struggles. The Liverpool Echo’s Theo Squires has dubbed Nunez a “agent of chaos” – wreaking havoc, but not always as his outfit might hope.

Similar to Thuram, the 23-year-old has been dubbed a “monster” and excels as a center-forward and when moved out to the left flank. If Thuram were to join the squad on Merseyside, the overabundance of elite forwards could interfere with Nunez’s second season at the club.

Nunez, who has missed 20 significant Premier League opportunities this year and only scored nine goals, may find that the Gladbach ace’s reputation as a “clinical” player is his downfall.

While the phenom boasts a gleaming tool set, it might derail Nunez, who has the potential to ignite the Premier League in vermilion flames. Whether Klopp attempts to go for Thuram, and indeed whether it would be the right course of action, remains to be seen.
