Thuram has earned a reputation as one of the most sought-after players in Ligue 1, with two goals and eight assists in 48 games during the 2022-23 campaign. He has made a total of 138 appearances for Les Aiglons, contributing eight goals and 11 assists, and has scored twice in 17 games for France's Under-21 team.
Previously, it was reported that the 22-year-old, who is the son of Lilian Thuram and the brother of Inter Milan striker Marcus Thuram, had agreed to personal terms with Liverpool. However, This Is Anfield claims that the Reds have ultimately decided not to pursue a deal for Thuram, as their discussions with his representatives were only preliminary.
While Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai have already joined Liverpool this summer, Klopp is still reportedly looking to bring in another midfielder in the coming weeks.
Instead of pursuing Thuram, Liverpool is said to be considering a move for Southampton midfielder Romeo Lavia, who has proven himself in the Premier League. However, a potential deal for Lavia is also becoming less likely, as Southampton may demand a fee of up to £50 million to let the 19-year-old leave.
With Liverpool no longer interested in Thuram, a separate report from L'Equipe suggests that Bayern Munich could attempt to sign the Frenchman from Allianz Riviera this summer.
The agents of Thuram have reportedly already met with representatives from Bayern Munich. If he were to join the Allianz Arena, Thuram would face competition for midfield starting spots from players like Joshua Kimmich, Leon Goretzka, Marcel Sabitzer, Ryan Gravenberch, and Konrad Laimer.
