Manchester United and Liverpool are eternal rivals on and off the field, and they are set to rekindle their rivalry with reports claiming both teams are interested in France international Khephren Thuram.

The 22-year-old recently made his debut for Les Bleues during the recently concluded international break, and the performances that earned him the call-up have also put him on the radar of several European clubs, including the Northwestern rivals.

The midfielder's performances for Nice have not gone unnoticed this season, with PSG said to also be interested in him, however, Le Parisiens do not prioritize recruitment in midfield. 

He got a call-up for France and recently made his debut in Didier Deschamp's 4-0 win over the Netherlands, and his newfound international status further intensified interest in him. 

Other than Manchester United, Liverpool, and Paris Saint-Germain, Europa League holders Eintracht Frankfurt were also said to have shown interest in the youngster.

Thuram still has a contract with Le Gym until 2025 and is expected to cost his suitors around €40 million to prise him away from the Allianz Riviera Stadium.
