How new Juventus signing Khephren Thuram will be deployed under Thiago Motta Juventus welcome another signing, and Wayne Girard assesses how French international Khephren Thuram will be deployed under new manager Thiago Motta. ............ If it’s up to Thiago Motta, the Old Lady will be playing high-flying, possession-based total football next season. Keep in mind Thuram will get to enjoy some sibling rivalry as well, with brother Marcus Thuram having won the Scudetto in his inaugural season with Inter. These are exciting prospects for a 23-year-old. Over in Nice, Khephren emerged as a player who overcomes opponents with speed and endurance, with a talent for breaking the lines from defensive areas within the midfield. This led him to win the Crédit Agricole Young Player of the Year award, as voted upon by Nice fans, as he won them over with his spirited performances week in and week out. ............ At 1.92m (6’3”), Thuram is a difficult player to come up against (and reminiscent of another French midfielder of Juventus), but quick feet provide him with balance throughout his game, making him a versatile option for Motta. A manager who demands a tight midfield, Thuram will be a fantastic addition in transition and overloading the opponent’s middle third, as well as breaking up the play as a disruptor. Characteristics of a true No.8. ............ What Thuram likes to do best: To carry and dribble while linking up with teammates in the final third. If Motta can utilise this skill as he’s done with players who love to burst forward like Riccardo Calafiori, he could be the manager to unleash Thuram’s game to the next level. ............

Pavan worries about Juventus struggling to offload big players Massimo Pavan is worried that Juventus might struggle to offload some of their players this summer as the Bianconeri rebuild their squad. The men in black and white have had a busy summer as they look to strengthen their group for Thiago Motta. ............ Juve has already replaced Weston McKennie and Wojciech Szczęsny in their squad, but both players and others remain in the group. They are keen to offload them as soon as possible, and Pavan worries that they might struggle to sell the players they do not need. ............ “Juventus could have some problems with the exits.

JUVENTUS ISSUE ULTIMATUM TO FEDERICO CHIESA REGARDING EXIT Serie A giants Juventus have issued an ultimatum to Federico Chiesa regarding his potential exit from the club this summer. ............ Chiesa either has to accept a reduced wage or end up leaving the Bianconeri this summer. Roma’s interest has reduced recently, with Chisea yet to give a response to the club. ............ Selling Chiesa would help Juve land Teun Koopmeiners and it would make sure that they also end up keeping Matias Soule at the club, with Thiago Motta said to be quite a fan of the player. As of now, Juve do not want to lose the player for free. ............ Read more -> https://www.getfootballnewsitaly.com/2024/juventus-issue-ultimatum-to-federico-chiesa-regarding-exit/

The youngster is one of the budding players at Juventus, and the Bianconeri were delighted with the way he played at Frosinone last season. ............ Juve is reportedly open to his departure, and Leicester City is the latest club to show interest in his signature. But Thiago Motta will give Soule a chance to prove his worth before he leaves. The manager has still not decided if the youngster will be part of his plans. He will evaluate him during pre-season before deciding whether to include him. ............

Juventus intensify Todibo talks with plan to cut off West Ham Reports are growing in Italy that Juventus will intensify their pursuit of OGC Nice defender Jean-Clair Todibo, who was already in talks with Manchester United and West Ham United. The centre-back would’ve gone to Old Trafford, but seeing as their owners INEOS are also in charge of Nice, the transfer was effectively blocked by UEFA. West Ham dived in, but as soon as Todibo heard that Juventus were interested, he put them on hold and preferred to wait for the Bianconeri. ............ The asking price can be significantly lower than €40m and they can cut the cost even more by including a player as part of the deal. They have options who are of interest to Nice, including Arkadiusz Milik and winger Filip Kostic. Juventus already did a deal with Nice this week for Khephren Thuram and no doubt discussed Todibo during the same negotiations with the Ligue 1 club. ............

Massimo Mauro explains Thiago Motta’s style of football Former Juventus star Massimo Mauro believes the Bianconeri are taking a similar path to when they appointed Maurizio Sarri as their manager, now that Thiago Motta has become their latest coach. ............ Motta has been one of the most innovative managers in European football, and finishing in the Champions League places with Bologna last season is widely considered a miracle. His style of play is very different from what Juve fans watched during Max Allegri’s spell, and Mauro is happy with this new direction. He explains Motta’s style in a recent interview saying: “Thiago Motta has combined quality of play with results in the extraordinary Champions League ride he experienced at the helm of Bologna. I appreciate his desire to score one more goal than his opponents and to concede at least one less. Juventus’ choice to try a new path is great, a bit like what happened with Sarri”. ............

Monza CEO responds to Wojciech Szczesny rumours Monza has been linked with a move for Juventus goalkeeper Wojciech Szczęsny, whose potential transfer to Al Nassr is currently on hold. Juventus has signed a new goalkeeper and needs to offload Szczęsny in this transfer window. He earns too much to stay on the bench and become a second choice behind Michele di Gregorio. ............ Reports began circulating weeks ago that the Bianconeri might sell him to Monza, who are eyeing an ambitious move for his signature. ............ Their CEO has now revealed that the rumours are not true. Adriano Galliani said: “At what point are the negotiations for Szczesny? First of all, we need to agree on what a negotiation is. If we refer to the dictionary, sit down and start talking, there is no negotiation for Szczesny. Then chatting with someone, with a sporting director or something else, these are all things in progress. But there is no negotiation underway for Szczesny, meaning by negotiation a negotiation.” ............ Read more -> https://www.juvefc.com/monza-ceo-responds-to-wojciech-szczesny-rumours/

Juventus teenager Kenan Yildiz will return to Turin for a minor surgery Juventus striker Kenan Yildiz will reportedly land in Turin this week to undergo nose surgery. The 19-year-old’s summer vacation has only recently started following Turkiye’s elimination from EURO 2024 at the hands of the Netherlands in the quarter-finals. The teenager enjoyed a superb breakout campaign that saw him rise through the club’s ranks and become a regular starter for his national team. ............ Yildiz will interrupt his summer break to undergo surgery on his nasal septum this Friday. The former Bayern Munich star will thus be in Turin this week, so the source believes this occasion could set the stage for a brief meeting with Motta who intends to heavily rely on his services next season. Afterwards, the youngster will resume his vacation before putting himself at the club’s disposal by the end of the month. ............

New Juventus coach Thiago Motta had made it clear from the get-go that he doesn’t intend to rely on the services of the Italy international.

Juventus Taking a Look at Expensive Nice Defender Juventus are regrouping after Bologna stonewalled their efforts to acquire Riccardo Calafiori, who’s most likely headed to Arsenal, and are testing the waters for Jean-Clair Todibo. They have already done some business with Nice this summer considering the Khephren Thuram deal. ............ Juventus would have to splurge to sign Todibo. The French side demands €35/40M to part ways with their star center-back. Manchester United were willing to offer such an amount, but UEFA blocked them since both sides are under the INEOS umbrella. ............

OGC NICE’S KHÉPHREN THURAM AGREES TO JUVENTUS MOVE OGC Nice midfielder Khéphren Thuram (23) has given the green light for a move to Serie A giants Juventus.

Lilian Thuram’s agent insists his son and Juventus can help each other Juventus is interested in Khephren Thuram as they work hard to restructure their midfield. ............ However, they might still lose Adrien Rabiot, who is two days away from becoming a free agent, so Juve will likely need to sign another midfielder. Khephren Thuram from Nice is a potential candidate, and his father’s former agent believes the move would benefit both parties. Lilian Thuram famously played for Juventus and was represented by Oscar Damiani. Damiani now believes Khephren will also do well in Turin. He said: “How do I see him at Juventus? I believe that Khephren would help Juventus grow. And Juventus would help Khephren grow. So rather well, that’s it. Furthermore, he would also ensure the department gets some goals: it’s another characteristic that belongs to his technical background” ............

Juventus is trying to meet Thuram’s asking price with bonuses Juventus is keen to sign Khephren Thuram, as it seems clear that Adrien Rabiot is leaving them. The Bianconeri no longer have much hope that Rabiot will stay, so they are on the lookout for new midfielders to add to their squad. ............ The next midfielder to arrive in Turin could be Khephren Thuram, who has been on Juve’s radar for several months. The son of Lilian Thuram has a contract that expires in 2025, and Nice wants to sell him now. They still want a high fee for his departure, but Juventus does not want to offer more than 18 million euros.

Progress on Thuram, first signings imminent, Kean on the move With the deal for Douglas Luiz all but settled (more on him later), another name in the midfield has started to be thrown around in earnest over the last week or so, and that’s Kephren Thuram. The 23-year-old, who currently plys his trade at OGC Nice, has been zeroed in on as the second signing in the continuing remake of the Juventus midfield. The team had hoped to sign Adrien Rabiot to yet another extension in the offseason, but he and his momgent, Veronique, have dithered when it comes to a decision on Juventus’ contract proposal. Fed up with waiting (and in the face of Veronique likely demanding a ridiculously exorbitant salary that the club simply won’t pay, the club has moved on to Thuram. Son of former Juve defender Lilian and brother of current Inter forward Marcus, Kephren Thuram has turned heads at Nice lately, but he’s made it clear to the French club that he has no intention of extending his contract, which expires at the end of the coming season. That would give Juve a clear negotiating advantage, as Nice won’t be in position to dictate the terms of a deal quite as much as they would have liked. Thuram was born in Reggio Emilia just a few months before his father signed with Juventus, and was raised in Turin for the first five years of his life, a fact that could also give Juve an edge in vying for his signature. Indeed, according to a report by Daniele Longo at Calciomercato, Juve have agreed in principle to personal terms with the Frenchman, and that Cristiano Giuntoli has taken a closer role in negotiations with the Ligue 1 outfilt to get the deal over the line quickly, lest anyone else come in and disrupt things at the last minute. Nice are looking for €25 million for the striker, but Juve are hoping to use the pressure of a contract year to push that closer to €18-20 million, or perhaps push down the monetary costs with a makeweight like Arkadiusz Milik. ............ Samuel Iling-Junior and Enzo Barrenechea are set to complete their medicals with Aston Villa within the next 24 hours, clearing one of the last major hurdles before the complex deal for Luiz is complete. The Brazilian midfielder is currently with the Brazilian national team at the Copa America, but is likely to complete his while at the tournament. As for Di Gregorio, the major hurdle in front of his announcement has been the exit of incumbent keeper Wojciech Szczesny. Szczesny’s potential move to Saudi Arabia had been on hold for a week or so, but now looks like it’s headed for the finish line soon, which would clear the way for Di Gregorio’s arrival to be made official. ............ Multiple reports, including one from Fabrizio Romano, have identified Kean as the primary target of new Fiorentina manager Raffaele Palladino. ............
