Khéphren Thuram is now being priced at around €50 million, with Juventus open to selling him this summer after previously viewing him as unsellable. The change is sharp, especially for a 25-year-old they signed from Nice in the summer of 2024 in a £16.9 million deal. Liverpool and Manchester United are among the Premier League clubs watching closely.
Juventus' change of stance
The fee reported by TuttoSport is €50 million, or £42.86m. That is a long way from the price Juventus paid 12 months ago, and it tells you how quickly the club's stance has shifted. Juventus finished 6th in Serie A last season, and that kind of finish tends to sharpen the focus on balancing the squad and the books.
Thuram's case is not built on hype alone. He has already made 96 appearances in two seasons for Juventus and scored nine goals in all competitions. He also posted a recent peak rating of 7.9, which backs up the idea that he is arriving at the market with more than a nice profile and a decent age.
Premier League clubs are circling
Liverpool have cooled their interest in Adam Wharton and are considering Thuram as an alternative midfield target. Manchester United are also in the mix, even if the reporting around their interest is still at the monitoring stage rather than anything more advanced.
That leaves Juventus in a simple position: they are willing to sell, and they have put a serious number on the deal. For Liverpool and United, the question is whether Thuram fits their midfield plans well enough to justify a move at that price.
The next step is not about a completed deal. It is about whether either club turns interest into an offer while Juventus keep the door open on a summer sale.
