    Liverpool Make Initial Move to Secure Marcus Thuram’s Signing

    Marcus Thuram

    Liverpool are reportedly keen on signing Marcus Thuram and are preparing a move for the French forward.

    According to Teamtalk, Liverpool have shown strong interest in Thuram, who is currently shining in Serie A. The forward has been in excellent form for Inter Milan, with 12 goals and three assists in the league this season, establishing himself as a key player and scoring some incredible goals.

    To illustrate his progress this season, Thuram has played half as many games as he did last season but is just one goal shy of matching his tally for the 2023/24 campaign.

    It’s worth noting that Thuram’s release clause, which was set before his recent surge in form, stands at around £70 million. However, Inter Milan is open to negotiations and could accept a lower fee for the player. Liverpool, for their part, have reportedly assessed the price and deem it reasonable.

    This marks the first step: Liverpool are convinced that this is a deal worth pursuing, and now it’s just a matter of waiting to see what happens.

    Thuram isn’t the only player on Liverpool’s radar, though. Teamtalk also mentions that Alexander Isak is on their shortlist. Liverpool were linked with Isak a few years ago before he moved from Real Sociedad to Newcastle United. His strong performances this season have put him back on their radar. However, his price has significantly increased since his move to Newcastle, making it unlikely that Liverpool could convince the club to sell him. This is one of the reasons they are considering Thuram, who, despite being 27, offers better value for money and could still play a crucial role for Liverpool in the coming years.

    This is shaping up to be an eventful year for Liverpool’s transfer dealings, with Thuram being a potential target, and perhaps even Isak if things fall into place.

    Liverpool gets major update on contract negotiations with Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk

    Liverpool awaits decisions from Virgil van Dijk, Mohamed Salah, and Trent Alexander-Arnold

    Liverpool awaits decisions from Virgil van Dijk, Mohamed Salah, and Trent Alexander-Arnold regarding their futures, but there is encouraging news for the former two.

    Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah are reportedly “very likely” to sign new contracts with Liverpool. The two, along with Trent Alexander-Arnold, are approaching the end of their current contracts, which expire at the season’s conclusion. All three players have received offers to extend their stays, but no decisions have been made yet.

    The coming week could be crucial, as the trio may begin negotiating pre-contract agreements with foreign clubs starting in January unless they commit to new deals before then.

    Although a final decision before the year’s end seems increasingly unlikely, positive news has emerged regarding Van Dijk and Salah. Sky Sports reporter Dharmesh Sheth, speaking to GIVEMESPORT, stated that the pair are “very likely” to stay at Anfield.

    Sheth also suggested that while Alexander-Arnold’s future remains uncertain, he has been less vocal about it compared to his teammates.

    This update follows Van Dijk’s recent comments hinting at his desire to remain at Liverpool. Ahead of the Boxing Day match against Leicester, the captain told Amazon Prime: “I love the club, the club loves me. I love the fans, the fans love me and it is a very good foundation to be successful. In my opinion I can play for another three, four years at least at the highest level. We will see what the future brings.”

    Liverpool.com notes that it has always seemed likely that Van Dijk and Salah would extend their contracts, while Alexander-Arnold might require more persuasion, particularly with the allure of Real Madrid. Hopefully, Sheth’s prediction holds true, and there will be no long wait for Van Dijk and Salah to sign new deals. With January just around the corner, it seems they might consider other offers, but the hope is they will ultimately remain with Liverpool.

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

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

    Marcus Thuram of Borussia Monchengladbach is attracting interest from Liverpool as his £53,000-per-week deal with the German

    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.
