OFFICIAL: Juventus striker head to Nice in exchange for Khephran Thuram

Khephren Thuram and Arkadiusz Milik may be involved in an impending trade between Nice

and Juventus; Tuttosport reports that the Bianconeri are making a strong effort to get Thuram,

a 23-year-old midfield player.

According to reports, the Frenchman has turned down other offers since Juventus is his primary priority. He aspires to carry on his father Lilian’s legacy, who worked as a tradesperson in Turin

from 2001 until 2006.

For the youthful midfield player, a challenge against his older brother Marcus, who plays for Inter,

is another exciting possibility.

According to the Turin-based daily, Thuram is estimated to be worth between 15 and 20 million

euros. Since the player’s contract expires in the summer of next year, Nice will have little more negotiating power.

Furthermore, the insider thinks that by include Milik in the package, the Bianconeri can cut costs.

The Ligue 1 team might be interested in the striker’s profile.

The 30-year-old played for Olympique Marseille before moving to the Allianz Stadium in 2022,

so he is familiar with French football. According to the article, the Pole is valued at about eight

million euros.

Juventus is eager to close the transaction because they believe Khephren is the ideal candidate to

take Adrien Rabiot’s place, a fellow countryman who hasn’t yet extended his contract.

Relatively speaking, Giovanni Albanese of La Gazzetta dello Sport notes that Thuram’s transfer fee

and salary added together would cost Juventus the same amount as Rabiot’s high pay.

Khephren’s father worked for the Emilian club when he was born in Parma. He progressed through Monaco’s divisions before relocating to Nice in 2019.
