Man Utd and Liverpool learn Thuram asking price

Juventus are open to selling midfielder Khephren Thuram this summer and have set an asking price of €50 million (£42.86m), with Manchester United, Liverpool and Nottingham Forest all expressing interest.

Thuram's Juventus Career

The 25-year-old France international joined Juventus from Nice in the summer of 2024 in a £16.9m deal. In two seasons, he has made 96 appearances for the Old Lady, scoring nine goals across all competitions. Despite being a regular for his club, Thuram missed out on a place in the France squad for the 2026 World Cup. He has earned four caps for his country under manager Didier Deschamps.

Interest from Premier League Clubs

TuttoSport reports that Juventus previously considered Thuram unsellable, but that stance has now changed. The Turin club is willing to listen to offers and has set a clear price tag. Manchester United and Liverpool have long-standing interest, with both clubs heavily linked to Thuram in 2023 when he was still at Nice. Nottingham Forest have also joined the race for his signature.

Juventus Eyeing Replacement

Juventus are reportedly targeting free agent Frank Kessie as a potential replacement. The Ivory Coast midfielder is available after leaving Saudi Arabian side Al-Ahli. Kessie has actively promoted himself for a move, stating: "I did see the talk about Juventus. I am focused only on the World Cup, but I will just say one thing: I would be a great signing. I'm in good shape, I'm playing at the World Cup, and above all I am a free agent, so what more could you ask for? This is why so many clubs want me, and they are right! My agent is working on it, we're receiving a lot of calls, and that's to be expected. I too would sign me at these conditions, both physically and financially!"

Thuram's Background

Khephren Thuram is the son of legendary France defender Lilian Thuram. He has been on the radar of Premier League clubs for several years, with Liverpool and Manchester United both credited with an interest in 2023 before he made the move to Italy.
