Liverpool could make a major signing.
Liverpool’s Jurgen Klopp has a keen eye. The eagled eye German knows how to spot a talent. His hawk-eyes have ‘discovered’ some of the most elite players in world football at the moment. Including Robert Lewandowski and Mohamed Salah. And perhaps, Diogo Jota will be next.
But while Jota has flourished since his arrival at Anfield, Klopp already has more candidates he is considering making moves for in the future.
According to the latest reports in Spain by Movistar commentator Alain Valnegri via the Liverpool Echo, the Reds are considering making a move for Borussia Mochengladbach attacker, Marcus Thuram.

The son of Lilian Thuram, Marcus Thuram used to wear his father’s World Cup winning boots to training at his first club according to First Time Finish.
But Marcus Thuram has not stayed in his father’s shadow.
After moving to Germany last summer the 23 year old has thrived in Gladbach. He netted 14 times last season, and scored a brace in Gladbach’s recent draw against Real Madrid in the Champions League.
A pacey, tall and energetic player, Marcus Thuram thrives at beating his opponents one on one. He proved a perpetual nuisance for Madrid’s back-line with his frightening pace and direct nature.
With the Reds set to lose Divock Origi potentially in the January transfer window, Marcus Thuram would be the perfect replacement.
Marcus Thuram offers the same speed that the Reds’ already have in their front three, however his commanding height gives Jurgen Klopp another avenue to exploit.
Of course, Marcus Thuram is hot property at the moment, and the Frenchman would understandably come with a high fee.
However, it’s one that might pay dividends for the Reds in the future. At 23, Marcus Thuram is yet to hit his prime. Klopp could hone him into the complete player and he could be a long term replacement for someone like Sadio Mane.
Thuram is a terrifying forward, just the prospect of him linking up with the likes of Jota, Salah and Mane is one that makes the mouth water.
Fans should be keeping a close eye on this one.
If First Time Finish‘s report is anything to go by, Marcus Thuram is not only a great player but an outstanding individual too.
