Liverpool target Khephren Thuram as Bellingham's back-up

Undoubtedly, one of the most sought-after players in the upcoming transfer window will be Jude Bellingham. The Borussia Dortmund midfielder is wanted by big clubs such as Real Madrid and Manchester City, but his asking price will be very high.

There is talk of a transfer fee of 150 million euros between variables and the transfer fee. Liverpool, who were also in the bidding, withdrew from the race as it was a very expensive operation and the possibility of not playing in the Champions League next year.

That is why the Anfield side already have an alternative to the England international. According to 'Mundo Deportivo', the player in question is Khephren Thuram, younger son of the legendary French defender who played for Barca and brother of Marcus Thuram, who plays for Borussia Monchengladbach.

The midfielder is currently at Nice and has a contract until 2025, so this summer could be the ideal opportunity to negotiate a possible transfer. The aforementioned source indicated that his asking price could be 40 million euros.
