Newcastle United Transfer News: Despite interest from Liverpool and Real Madrid, French midfielder Khephren Thuram, 22 years old, has chosen Newcastle United as his preferred destination

Newcastle United Transfer News: Football Insider claims that Newcastle United are interested in signing Khephren Thuram. The 22-year-old has drawn attention from as high as Real Madrid and as low as Liverpool. The report, however, indicates that the Magpies are now in first place.

So far, Thuram’s season has been fantastic. His reliability as a player ultimately led to his first appearance with the French national team. The teenager is now estimated to be worth about £60 million by the Ligue 1 club.

The 22-year-old started his career with AS Monaco and moved to OGC Nice in 2019. Over the course of the previous several seasons, he has made tremendous strides. And it seems like he’s really stepped up his game for the rest of the season. So far, the French international has been reliable and has seldom stumbled.

So far this season, Thuram has played in 42 games. He has scored twice and contributed to eight others’ goals. His current deal with the team takes us through the summer of 2025. Nonetheless, it is not anticipated that he will remain through the current season.

The French club might sell the 22-year-old for roughly £60 million to clubs like Newcastle, Real Madrid, and Liverpool. The current season has been difficult for the Merseyside club due to their shaky midfield play. The signing of many elite midfielders will be a primary objective for them this summer. One of the names on their transfer list is Thuram.

At the same time, Real Madrid is one of the teams that would sacrifice everything for a promising young player. Thuram seems to possess such traits. They need fresh players since veterans like Luka Modric and Toni Kroos are nearing the end of their careers.

Newcastle has fallen farther behind the competition than Real Madrid and Liverpool. The Magpies need to make some major roster changes this summer. And the club’s owners are fully behind manager Eddie Howe, who has worked miracles for the team. At this point in the season, Newcastle is third and seems certain to compete in the Champions League next year. Therefore, they need to significantly strengthen their ranks by recruiting top talent.

Howe wants to strengthen the team’s midfield by bringing in fresh faces. The 22-year-old Thuram is a dynamic player who he would love to have at his disposal. He is versatile enough to play in the centre of the field, on the back line, or off the wings. The Magpies are ready to spend approximately £60 million for him because of the advantage his adaptability may provide them.
