Juventus are on the verge of securing another midfield reinforcement following the official signing of Douglas Luiz. The Bianconeri are now very close to finalizing a deal for Khephren Thuram, the 23-year-old midfielder from Nice.
According to Sky Sport Italia, the Italian giants have made significant progress in their pursuit of Thuram, with sporting director Cristiano Giuntoli leading the charge. Juventus have reportedly overtaken both Inter and Milan in the race for the French midfielder’s signature.
The transfer is expected to cost Juventus around €20 million, plus performance-related bonuses tied to team achievements and appearances. Both clubs are working to conclude the deal this week.
Thuram, son of former Juventus defender Lilian Thuram and brother of Inter Milan striker Marcus Thuram, has been a standout performer for Nice in Ligue 1. His potential move to Turin would reunite the Thuram name with Juventus, where his father enjoyed a successful spell from 2001 to 2006.
This transfer would mark another significant addition to Juventus’ midfield, as new manager Thiago Motta looks to reshape the squad for the upcoming season. The club’s ability to pursue such targets, despite recent financial challenges, has raised eyebrows in Italian football circles.
As the deal nears completion, Juventus fans can look forward to seeing another talented young midfielder join their ranks, potentially forming a formidable partnership with recent arrival Douglas Luiz.
