Bayern Munich are threatening Liverpool's plans for Nice midfielder Khephren Thuram.
While they've clinched the signing of Dominik Szoboszlai, the Reds remain keen on Thuram.
Indeed, it's emerged Liverpool officials have met with family members of Thuram to discuss a move to England.
However, L'Equipe says the Reds now face competition from Bayern Munich.
Nice have welcomed the prospect of an auction as they seek at least 60m to sell.
