Juventus to compete with Manchester United and Arsenal for Nice’s Khephren Thuram

Juventus have started to work on their potential summer transfer dealings and have eyed up a move for Ligue 1 side Nice’s Khephren Thuram.

According to a report by Marco Conterio, Juventus sporting director Cristiano Giuntoli is looking for reinforcements in all departments and therefore has listed Khephren Thuram as a possible signing to be added to their midfield depth. 

The son of the Bianconeri legend, Lilian Thuram and brother of Inter forward Marcus Thuram, the 22-year-old has been on the transfer radar of the Italian giants for quite some time now. The Old Lady attempted negotiations in the winter window, adding Samuel Iling Junior to the transfer package but a clear no came from Nice manager Francesco Farioli.

The French outfits consider Thuram an influential squad member and will be open to talks in the summer when his value is expected to increase.  A transfer battle is set to be on the cards, as Premier League clubs like Manchester United and Arsenal have also registered their interest in the player.
