Agent Rafaela Pimenta has posted a cryptic Instagram story at OGC Nice's headquarters amid reports of Liverpool targeting Khephren Thuram.
The intermediary, who is also Ryan Gravenberch's agent, was spotted at Anfield earlier this year as she was present for the Reds goalless draw with Chelsea. At that time, the Dutch midfielder was being increasingly linked with a move to Merseyside as his game time with Bayern Munich was limited.
It has since been reported that positive discussions were held with the former Ajax academy graduate but a move this summer hinges on whether the German champions change their stance on the 21-year-old.
After acquiring Alexis Mac Allister as the first signing of the summer, attention and speculation has quickly turned to the next arrival. Reports in France and Germany have linked Liverpool to Thuram and Borussia Monchengladbach midfielder Manu Kone respectively. The ECHO understands both are on the summer shortlist, along with Gabri Veiga of Celta Vigo and others.

On Wednesday, Pimenta posted to her Instagram story in the reception of Les Aiglons. Her post comes as murmurs swirl over a move to Liverpool.
This year, she has spoken about the quality of her client. In February, the agent said: "I would never allow myself to give an opinion to the France team. But why is he not there (in selection)? He should be there, he has a lot of qualities.
"He is complete, he knows football, he has had the mentality of a footballer since he was a baby. He was born a footballer."
Today's update also comes after Liverpool defender Ibrahima Konate spoke of his willingness to help his French compatriot develop. The pair are currently on international duty with the senior and U21 squads respectively.
The Reds defender, who is entering his third season on Merseyside, said: "I would be very happy if he (Thuram) came to Liverpool.
"I would take him under my wing and I would do everything to make him progress and become the player he wants to be."
