Sunderland have reportedly been in contact with Juventus over Khéphren Thuram during this summer's transfer window. Brighton allegedly have until the middle of July to activate a €20m (£17.3m) release clause for Jakub Kamiński, while Everton are among the clubs considering Edon Zhegrova.
Why Thuram is the main Juventus-linked name
Thuram is the cleanest fit in the story because the fee chatter is already there. He is said to be available for around €40m (£34.6m) if Juventus decide to sell for financial reasons, and his output gives the interest some substance, with 4 goals and 5 assists in 45 appearances.
That is the type of profile clubs chase when they think there is still room for value. Sunderland have also been in a decent run in the sample provided, with 3 in their recent five games, which explains why they are looking at a midfielder of this level rather than waiting for a safer market.
The wider market around Zhegrova and Kaminski
Zhegrova is a different case. The figures around his Juventus spell are hard to dress up, with 0 goals in 27 matches and only 366 minutes across 19 Serie A appearances, all off the bench. One source says he joined Juventus in summer 2025 for €15m plus up to €3m in bonuses. Another says he made a €15.5m move the previous summer and signed a five-year deal. Either way, the football case is the same, he has not yet settled in Turin.
That makes a move away easy enough to understand if Juventus want to reshape the squad. Juventus have only one win in their last five league games in the sample provided, so the club's willingness to listen on exits is part of the same picture. Arne Engels is also drawing interest, with Celtic's midfielder having 17 goals and 21 assists in 98 matches while clubs such as Nottingham Forest and Crystal Palace push for him.
The most concrete deadline in the whole batch belongs to Brighton and Kamiński. If they want the winger, they have to move by the middle of July, and that makes this the most time-sensitive of the lot. If anything happens next, it is more likely to be a decision on that clause than a finished deal for Thuram or Zhegrova.
