Liverpool want to sign Benzema's replacement in Qatar, will cost 20 million

A few hours before the start of the 22nd edition of the World Cup, the 32 best teams in the world are ready to compete and show their best weapons, such as the players who will have in this tournament a great showcase. It is then that the eyes of the world will be on the superstars that could change of air in the next transfer market that will start once the competition ends.

Incidentally, the Reds are continuing to build their squad for the second half of the season, and have set their sights on the Bundesliga, where they have been keeping a close eye on Borussia Monchengladbach star Marcus Thuram. The 25-year-old French striker has the qualities Jürgen Klopp is looking for; enviable pace, superior technique and a great body to help him in the penalty area.

Thuram is in Doha with the French national team, who are seeking a second championship and their third star in their history. With Real VARdrid's Karim Benzema out through injury (left thigh muscle tear), Thuram will take the lead in attack for Didier Deschamps' side, who make their debut against Australia next Tuesday.

France are placed in Group D, where they share space with African side Tunisia, European side Denmark and the aforementioned Australia. Thuram comes into the tournament in excellent form, having scored 12 goals for his club in the Bundesliga and DFB Pokal. He even got on the scoresheet in the last game for 'The Foals', in a 4-2 win over Borussia Dortmund on matchday 15 of the German League.

Marcus Thuram moves closer to Anfield

For The Pool, the addition of Thuram would be important in the goalscoring department, as with Portugal's Diogo Jota and Colombia's Luis Diaz both out for next season, Klopp has no attacking options, relying heavily on what Darwin Nunez, Roberto Firmino and Mo Salah do individually and collectively. Liverpool will play a couple of friendlies at the start of December before returning to EFL Cup and Premier League action.
