Liverpool, aiming to rebuild its midfielders, acquired Argentine midfielder Alexis Mac Allister from Brighton as the transfer window opened. The team then welcomed Dominik Szoboszlai and a number of other midfielders.
During the summer transfer period, France U-21 midfielder Khéphren Thuram of Nice was also a prime target, and for a long time it was discussed that Liverpool might move for him.
As a result, the 22-year-old midfielder remained in France, but he expressed his feelings at the time that his priority was to remain with the club.
“I think I’ve started the season well. The team has of course had a very good start to the season. I have developed aspects of my game. Regarding what happened in the transfer window, I decided to stay.”
“I wanted to continue to progress at Nice, and progress as a player at this club. Honestly, it made me happy to be linked to all these clubs left, right and centre. It shows I’m doing the right things but as I said, I knew I wanted to stay here.”
