Nottingham Forest and Paris Saint-Germain have shown an interest in Juventus’ Khéphren Thuram.
Earlier this month, Sport Witness covered claims from Italy that he could leave the Serie A side this summer. Nottingham Forest could tempt him for around €40m.
PSG are now considering signing the player desired by the Premier League side.
Nottingham Forest yet to make progress
TuttoMercatoWeb covers the latest on Nottingham Forest and PSG, and Juventus’ plan for the Frenchman.
He spent his entire playing career in his country before the Old Lady signed him from OGC Nice in July 2024.
The midfielder played 51 matches in his first season and 3,136 minutes from 45 matches last season.
Juve, who failed to qualify for the Champions League, have to raise funds to carry out new signings. The 25-year-old, Gleison Bremer and Andrea Cambiaso are among the sale candidates.
Although Khéphren Thuram has been a regular, the Italian club can sacrifice him, as he hasn’t been a key player for Luciano Spalletti. Juve came to this conclusion after taking his performances and their market needs into account.
In short, Spalletti’s side are ready to sell as long as an interested party meets their €40m demand. This would allow them to make capital gain as Juve paid €20m to sign him.
As of now, none of the interested parties have submitted an offer that’s convincing for either Juve or the player. Nottingham Forest and PSG are named as his suitors.
Vítor Pereira’s side are the one to have made the most concrete enquiry in recent weeks. The Reds haven’t made further progress in the past few days, and that may change soon.
Luis Enrique’s side are also considering a move for Thuram, after making initial contact. Juventus, who are keen to sell, would hope that PSG get involved, likely in a bidding war with Nottingham Forest.
The player would be open to a move to Paris, but even in this case, there has been no further progress.
Thuram’s contract, value and agent info
PSG would be a better option than Nottingham Forest from a sporting point of view.
Khéphren Thuram’s contract runs down in 2029, and Transfermarkt value him at €38m.
