“They’re not phenomenal” – Lilian Thuram keeps Juventus & Inter Milan stars grounded

 

 

Despite their recent exploits with Juventus and Inter, Lilian Thuram insists his boys still have a long way to go to cement a place amongst the greats. ............

 

Khephren has been one of the few bright lights in a largely disappointing campaign for Juventus. He has been described as the club’s only good signing from last summer. ............

 

Nevertheless, Lilian Thuram wants his children to keep their feet on the ground, so he insists they have yet to become phenomenal stars.

 

“Do I have two phenomenal children? No, they’re not phenomenal,” said the 53-year-old while answering his former Juventus manager Fabio Capello.

 

“They always have to improve and always work hard. Every time someone in the domain tells me something that my son can improve, I’ll transmit the message. I’ll tell him ‘I talked to the coach and he told me you are good but you have to do better…’ and then he’ll take note. ............

Juventus tell Paris Saint-Germain player is not available for sale

 

 

Juventus overhauled their midfield last summer with the signings of Khephren Thuram, Teun Koopmeiners and Douglas Luiz, forming a trio that significantly elevated the squad’s quality and depth. ............

 

As Juventus encountered inconsistency throughout the campaign, Thuram emerged as a vital presence in midfield. His performances were not only consistent but also decisive, making him arguably the standout signing of the season. While Koopmeiners and Luiz tended to struggle, it was Thuram who gained the most ground, becoming central to the team’s tactical setup and long-term vision.

 

His development has impressed both supporters and club officials, and Juventus are now looking to secure his future. The Bianconeri have no intention of parting ways with the midfielder and are already planning to offer him a new contract in recognition of his impact. ............

 

Despite Juventus’s firm stance, Thuram’s impressive form has naturally attracted interest from other top clubs. Paris Saint-Germain recently made an enquiry about the player’s availability. However, Juventus responded swiftly, making it clear that Thuram is not for sale under any circumstances. ............

Juventus star rejected a move to PSG in the summer

 

 

Khephren Thuram has quickly established himself as one of Juventus’s standout signings, delivering performances that exceeded expectations during his debut campaign in Turin. The French midfielder arrived in the summer as part of a significant overhaul of the Bianconeri midfield, joining alongside Teun Koopmeiners and Douglas Luiz. While those two were immediately viewed as the cornerstones of the new system, Thuram was initially regarded as a young option who would develop gradually and provide depth. ............

 

The arrival of Igor Tudor as Juventus manager further accelerated Thuram’s progress. Tudor’s tactical demands suited the Frenchman’s qualities, and he responded with a level of performance that underlined both his potential and his growing influence within the team. His composure in possession, combined with an ability to contribute defensively and offensively, earned him widespread recognition among supporters and analysts.

 

Thuram’s development has not gone unnoticed abroad. Paris Saint-Germain expressed interest in securing his services, even making contact with his representatives to gauge his willingness to consider a move. However, the report revealed that the midfielder declined the approach, signalling his commitment to Juventus and his desire to continue his career in Turin. ............

 

Thuram’s contract runs until 2029, offering Juventus long-term security over one of their brightest assets. His decision to reject overtures from Paris Saint-Germain demonstrates both loyalty and confidence in the club’s project. Such commitment is particularly valuable in modern football, where players are often tempted by lucrative opportunities elsewhere. ............

Juventus wants to reward Thuram with a new deal

 

 

Juventus are reportedly preparing to reward Khephren Thuram with a new contract as the midfielder continues to impress and establish himself as a vital part of the team. Signed last summer as part of the club’s midfield rebuild, the Frenchman has quickly developed into one of the most reliable performers in the squad. ............

 

Since his arrival, Thuram has demonstrated both quality and consistency, earning recognition as one of Juventus’s finest players in recent months. Although his opportunities under Thiago Motta were somewhat limited, he always delivered solid performances when called upon. Under Igor Tudor, however, his role has expanded significantly, and he is now considered a key starter. Tudor’s faith in him reflects the trust and confidence placed in the midfielder, who has become one of the most dependable figures on the pitch. ............

 

Juventus are keen to offer Thuram improved terms, recognising that his current salary of around two million euros per season is significantly lower than that of several teammates. With top European clubs likely to monitor his progress closely, the Bianconeri are eager to safeguard against potential interest by rewarding him financially and reinforcing his commitment to the club.

 

The report suggests that Juventus are considering not only a substantial pay rise but also an extension to his contract, which presently runs until 2029. Such a move would underline the value placed on his role in the squad while ensuring stability as the team continues to rebuild. ............

“I think he’s extraordinary” Juventus midfielder receives high praise

 

 

Former Maurizio Sarri assistant Giovanni Martusciello has highlighted the impressive performances of Khephren Thuram at Juventus, underlining the Frenchman’s growing importance to the Bianconeri. Since his arrival last season, Thuram has steadily established himself as a key figure in the midfield, showing determination and consistency in his contributions on the pitch. ............

 

Speaking about the current Juventus squad, Martusciello expressed his admiration for the midfielder. He stated: “Who do I like? Thuram, I think he’s extraordinary. Overall, they seem like a team that can have its say until the end. Then, to fight for the big goals, at least the ones they’ve always had in Turin, we need more time.”

 

This observation reflects not only Thuram’s individual performances but also the growing potential of the team as a whole. Juventus appear to be building towards greater ambitions, and Thuram’s consistent development suggests he could play an integral role in helping them achieve their objectives. ............

 

Thuram has developed into a more complete player, combining consistency with an improved ability to score goals. This additional quality allows him to make a direct impact on results, further strengthening his case for regular inclusion in the team. His adaptability and relentless work rate make him too valuable to be overlooked whenever he is fit to play. ............

Khephren Thuram describes what it feels like to work under Tudor

 

 

Khephren Thuram has opened up about his experience playing under Igor Tudor at Juventus as the French midfielder continues to establish himself as an increasingly important figure at the club. Thuram is one of the players that Tudor trusts, and this confidence has allowed him to grow into a key member of the team. The Frenchman is happy and settled in Turin and notably rejected approaches to leave during the most recent transfer window, demonstrating his commitment to the club and its ongoing project. ............

 

Speaking about Tudor, Thuram said:

 

“He’s a very easy-going person, he talks to us a lot. When it’s time to have fun, he enjoys it with us, but when it’s time to work, he works hard. So I think he has a good balance in his closeness to the team. I don’t know how to say it, but since he’s so close to us, he can ask a lot of us: we’re willing to follow him because we know he speaks only for our own good. With Tudor, we work a lot physically and tactically.”

 

The influence of Tudor extends far beyond Thuram. Even players such as Dusan Vlahovic, who were placed on the market by the club, have flourished due to the way Tudor handled challenging situations in the summer. His approach combines clear communication, tactical discipline, and personal support, enabling players to maintain focus and confidence even amid uncertainty. This management style demonstrates Tudor’s ability to lead a top team effectively while maintaining squad cohesion. ............

 

Since assuming the managerial role, Tudor has shown a clear understanding of what it takes to improve both individual performances and the team as a whole. ............
