Liverpool has acquired Dominik Szoboszlai, putting an end to the pursuit of Khephren Thuram.
After finalizing the Dominik Szoboszlai transfer, Liverpool reportedly dropped their interest in signing 22-year-old Nice midfielder Khephren Thuram.
After needing to activate Szoboszlai’s release clause prior to the June 30 deadline at midnight, the Reds quickly completed the Szoboszlai deal late last week.
Thuram has drawn the club’s attention for a while. However, it appears that the original plan has changed and Szoboszlai’s capture has been expedited.
Following the acquisition of Alexis Mac Allister by Liverpool in early June, the Hungarian captain is the club’s second central midfielder this summer.
The Reds are rationally considering bringing in a defensive midfielder now that important arrivals in the number eight positions have been boxed off. They are competing to sign Romeo Lavia of Southampton as a result.
Resuming our discussion of Thuram, he is a gifted player who prefers to play the box-to-box position in midfield. The work Liverpool has already accomplished makes it seem as though signing the Frenchman would be an extravagance.
It’s crucial to provide Fabinho with some assistance in defensive midfield. Along with Jordan Henderson, Lavia is capable of doing just that. Let’s hope the club is able to finalize a deal with the Belgian. Following the acquisition of Declan Rice, Arsenal is also considering him.
The club has done well to support Jurgen Klopp in the summer window so far, despite many doubts. The important thing is to assist him in signing a number six and a center back before the window closes.
If that is accomplished, Liverpool will have a team that can contend with Manchester City for the championship or at least challenge for a top-three finish. The fact that they do not play Champions League football may aid them in any prospective league accusation.
