The 22-year-old, Nice midfielder, Khephren Thuram has dropped a potential hint over his future after responding to reports of Mac Allister’s imminent move to Liverpool.
The Argentine is finally set to join Liverpool from Brighton after agreeing personal terms with the Reds. Moreover, the deal has been confirmed by the ever-reliable journalist, Fabrizio Romano.
“Alexis Mac Allister to Liverpool, here we go! Full agreement completed on the contract – understand it will be valid until June 2028. Five year deal. #LFC.
Liverpool will pay the buy out clause in the next days, way less than reported £60m fee. Medical tests in 24/48h. Done.”
Romano tweeted regarding the transfer
Mac Allister now looks set to become Liverpool’s first signing of the upcoming transfer window. The transfer window officially opens for English clubs on June 14th.

However, Klopp seems to sign more players in their transfer list, especially midfielders. Besides, the club is now seriously targeting the young, French midfield duo, Kone and Thuram.
Moreover, at age 22, Thuram has attracted the attention of a lot of clubs from Europe. This comes after an impressive season with Ligue 1 club, Nice. He made 48 appearances in all competitions while scoring twice and assisting 4 times.
Meanwhile, the midfielder has fuelled speculation he could be on his way to Liverpool this summer. Especially, after the player ‘liked’ a post on Instagram about Mac Allister’s deal to join the Reds.
The post, published by 433, showed a picture of Mac Allister celebrating in a Liverpool shirt.
As per L’Equipe, Liverpool are preparing an offer for Thuram, with Nice willing to let him go if their asking price of €40m (£34.5m) is met.
The Frenchman, however, has publicly played down a move away from the French club this summer. The 22-year-old told in an interview that he is very well in Nice.
“I want to progress, go on the field, have fun. For now, I’m in Nice. It’s going very well. I really like the club, so I still see myself in Nice. I am very well in Nice.
There are noises, I hear, but I’m happy in Nice. I hope to grow with this club. I would like [caretaker manager Didier] Digard to stay because he brought a lot to this group when it was in a difficult period.
I don’t know if I tell him enough but he’s someone I can never thank enough. He helped me a lot in difficult times in my young career.
We worked a lot together. I wish him only happiness, in Nice, or elsewhere.”
