PSG interested in signing 21-year-old Liverpool midfield target - Reports
According to Saber Desfarges of Telefoot, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) are interested in signing OGC Nice midfielder Khephren Thuram. The 21-year-old is the sibling of France's FIFA World Cup star Marcus Thuram.
Khephren worked with Christophe Galtier when the latter was in charge of Les Aiglons. Galtier, however, left Nice in the summer to take charge of the Parisians.
The reigning French champion were also interested in signing Thuram in January. A move, however, didn't materialize. PSG signed the likes of Fabian Ruiz, Vitinha, and more to bolster their midfield.
Thuram, on the other hand, has established himself as one of the main stars of the Nice side. He has made 27 appearances for the Rivera-based club this season, scoring one goal and providing five assists. According to SI, Premier League giants Liverpool are also interested in Thuram.
