Newcastle United is actively pursuing the acquisition of Nice midfielder Khephren Thuram and is prepared to compete with Liverpool for his services.
This summer, Thuram is in high demand, and Liverpool is considering signing him as part of their midfield renovation.
The Reds have accelerated their efforts to make a deal since Newcastle is also keeping an eye on the midfielder and they are aware that Eddie Howe’s team is interested.
Now a transfer tussle between the two Premier League clubs is in the offing though as Newcastle are taking steps to sign Thuram, according to Italian journalist Rudy Galetti.
It is claimed that the Magpies’ interest in Thuram is serious.
Liverpool are also interested in Southampton midfielder Romeo Lavia, a possible alternative to Thuram.
Saints want in the region of £50m for Lavia however and it is suggested they are not in the mood to offer any discounts.
Liverpool feel that Saints may be able to be knocked down in their asking price for the midfielder.
