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. With just one year remaining on his deal and with no extension in sight, Thuram is highly likely to leave Nice this summer. ............ After a difficult season, there are fewer suitors for Thuram, however, there has been interest from Italy, with Juventus and Inter Milan both making enquiries. Thuram has now spoken with new Juventus manager Thiago Motta and both have agreed to the move. It is now up to the Serie A side to find an agreement with Les Aiglons. ............

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. The Old Lady is working on bonuses to help them reach an offer that Nice would accept............. Read more -> https://www.juvefc.com/juventus-is-trying-to-meet-thurams-asking-price-with-bonuses/

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. ............

Juventus interest in Khephren Thuram does not depend on Rabiot Juventus has been following Khephren Thuram for several months and might make a move to sign him this summer. The Frenchman has been one of the finest midfielders in Ligue 1 over the last few seasons, and he now wants to leave Nice. ............ It has been widely reported that Juventus considers Thuram one of their long-term replacements for Adrien Rabiot. However, Fabrizio Romano has revealed that signing Thuram will not depend on Rabiot’s future. He claims the Bianconeri will still work on the deal for the Frenchman whether Rabiot stays or not. ............

Rabiot’s replacement at Juventus will likely be another Frenchman Juventus remains keen to keep Adrien Rabiot and has made that clear since the start of last season, but they risk losing him before Euro 2024 ends. ............ Thiago Motta, the new Juventus manager, wishes to work with Rabiot, but Juve will not wait forever. Rabiot’s contract with the club expires at the end of this month. ............ Cristiano Giuntoli is also looking at alternative players in case they cannot secure Rabiot on a new deal. He has placed Nice’s Khephren Thuram and AS Monaco’s Youssouf Fofana on a standby list. If it becomes clear that Rabiot is leaving, he will sign one of these French midfielders as his replacement. ............

Khephren Thuram could help Juventus sign him sooner Juventus remains keen on bringing Marcus Thuram’s brother to Serie A as he shines for Nice in France. Khephren Thuram has been one of the standout players at his current club, and Juve has been monitoring the midfielder for at least two seasons. ................. The midfielder’s brother Marcus plays for Inter Milan, and their father Lilian was a star player for Juventus. Khephren appears to be interested in the move. His current deal expires in 2025, meaning he has just one season left. Nice still wants around €25 million, which might be considered too expensive by Juventus, but the midfielder could prove to be a valuable addition. He is eager to move to Serie A and will not sign a new contract, which could force Nice to further reduce their asking price to avoid losing him on a free transfer. .................

Juventus eyes three stars in case Rabiot refuses to extend his contract Juventus remains keen on keeping Adrien Rabiot in their squad beyond this season, but the Bianconeri are also on the lookout for alternatives. ............. The Frenchman might be interested in working with Thiago Motta, but while he wastes time, Juve has identified three players who could take his place on their team. The Bianconeri are interested in Monaco’s Youssouf Fofana and Nice’s Khephren Thuram, whom they can sign permanently. They are also interested in signing PSG’s Manuel Ugarte on loan for next season. .............

Juventus forced to wait until the summer to land midfield target Juventus has been monitoring Khephren Thuram for several months and was even linked with a potential move for him in the January transfer window. Thuram, a midfielder, has established himself as one of the top players in his position in Ligue 1, and Juventus is interested in adding him to their squad to address the midfield void. While the Bianconeri have several players on their radar, the Frenchman is their primary target, and they have been aiming to acquire him in January. However, it appears increasingly unlikely that Thuram will make a move in January, as he is an integral part of the current Nice team. ............

Why Juve’s pursuit of Koopmeiners is becoming complicated Juventus could reportedly struggle in their attempts to put the signature of Atalanta midfielder Teun Koopmeiners on paper. Long before the summer transfer session started, the Old Lady had identified the Dutchman as their primary target to enhance the quality of the squad. ............ But according to journalist Filippo Bonsignore, the deal is getting increasingly complicated, especially with Atalanta refusing to drop their price. The Turin-based giants started with an opening bid worth 40 million, and could raise their offer to 45M. But the gap remains significant. They also tried to offer the services of Matias Soulé and Dean Huijsen but to no avail. The Orobici have already brought in Nicolo Zaniolo as a potential replacement and could be searching for a midfielder with similar characteristics to Koopmeiners. Yet, they don’t intend to offer any discounts on the Netherlands international this summer. ............ The Bianconeri already have an agreement with Koopmeiners over personal terms. He would sign a five-year contract that would see him earn 4.5 million euros per season. Read more -> https://www.juvefc.com/why-juves-pursuit-of-koopmeiners-is-becoming-complicated/

Chiesa determined to join Juventus pre-season camp despite exit talks Juventus star Federico Chiesa is reportedly hellbent on taking part in the club’s pre-season preparations under the guidance of Thiago Motta. The 26-year-old has been heavily linked with a summer exit for two major reasons. First, his contract will expire next year, so this could the club’s last chance to recuperate part of the sum spent to acquire him from Fiorentina in 2020. Second, Motta reportedly considers him unsuitable for his tactical plans. ............ Nevertheless, Italian football journalist Gianluca Di Marzio believes Chiesa is still determined to show up at Continassa this summer and prove his worth. ............ However, Di Marzio insists that the Bianoneri haven’t offered him a new contract. So if the situation doesn’t change during the course of the summer, Chiesa will eventually have to evaluate his options on the market. ............

Potential exchange deal brewing between Juventus & Mourinho’s Fenerbahce Juventus and Fenerbahce could reportedly end up swapping the services of two players this summer. ............

On the other hand, Juventus are reportedly interested in the services of Ferdi Kadioglu. The 24-year-old was born in the Netherlands and started a career at NEC Nijmegen before making the move to Fenerbahce in 2018. The fullback has now cemented himself as a regular starter for both his club and the Turkish national team. Kadioglu often plays at left-back, but as a right-footed player, he can comfortably slot in on the opposing flank. ............ Moreover, Juventus would be able to sign the Turkiye star without utilizing a non-EU spot thanks to his Dutch passport. ............

Journalist explains difference between Arthur-Pjanic transfer and Douglas Luiz deal Juventus is closing in on a swap deal to sign Douglas Luiz, with two youngsters plus 20 million euros going the other way. ............ This is not the first time Juve has been involved in a swap deal to sign players, and the last time they did it, it did not end well. The Bianconeri swapped Arthur Melo for Miralem Pjanic with Barcelona, and both players struggled. Arthur has not even played for the Bianconeri in the last two seasons. It was a financial transaction that benefitted both clubs’ balance sheets, but Riccardo Meloni insists Juventus’ decision to send Samuel Iling-Junior and Enzo Barrenechea plus cash to Villa for Luiz is different. ............ “The Arthur-Pjanic operation continues to be mistakenly associated with the Douglas Luiz operation. The rationale behind the operation with Barcelona was purely economic, while the reasons that brought Juve to Douglas Luiz are purely technical. With Arthur-Pjanic yes an exchange was built around budgetary needs, while with Douglas Luiz an operation was built around a pitch need: Thiago Motta strongly wanted the Brazilian to build the midfield around him.” ............
