Liverpool ‘agree personal terms’ with £51m Newcastle United target

Liverpool ‘agree personal terms’ with £51m Newcastle United target

 


Liverpool have reportedly opened talks with Nice over signing Newcastle United transfer target Khephren Thuram.

With Magpies head coach Eddie Howe keen to bolster his midfield options this summer, Thuram is understood to be one of several names under consideration, including Wolfsburg’s Felix Nmecha.

United are exploring their options carefully and naturally want the best pound-for-pound deals as they work under Financial Fair Play restrictions. For example, Thuram’s price tag is £51million, compared to Nmecha’s rumoured £15m valuation.

Competition for Thuram’s signature is also higher as Liverpool lead the chase. According to Football Transfers, the 22-year-old has told Nice he wants to move to Anfield and has already verbally agreed personal terms.


The same publication adds that Nice will likely sell below the initial asking price but want clubs such as Newcastle and Paris Saint-Germain to come to the table to drum up the final sale price.

To bring confusion, however, Liverpool have supposedly dismissed speculation regarding agreed personal terms, as per The Athletic.

Kalvin Phillips has already made feelings clear on Liverpool transfer Kalvin Phillips is one name linked with a possible move to Liverpool with Fabinho poised to depart Manchester City midfielder Kalvin Phillips has been linked with a move to Liverpool this summer amid Fabinho’s proposed departure to Saudi Arabia. Widespread reports claim the Brazilian has been the subject of a £40m bid from Saudi Pro League side Al-Ittihad, who are managed by former Tottenham Hotspur and Wolves boss Nuno Espírito Santo. The Brazilian was believed to be have been part of Liverpool’s plans for the 2023-24 season despite the additions of Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai. However, a sizeable offer has been enough for the Reds to consider striking a deal with the Saudi outfit, even though it would leave Jurgen Klopp searching for more midfield additions. One man widely linked is former Leeds United star Phillips who made the switch from Elland Road to the Etihad Stadium last summer for a £42m fee

The former Liverpool forward was alleged to have punched the Germany international in the face after Bayern’s 3-0 defeat to Man City in the Champions League last season. The pair were seen arguing both on the pitch and after the final whistle, with that confrontation continuing into the dressing room.
