Khephren Thuram of interest to Tottenham Hotspur, Juventus want €40m to sanction a sale | OneFootball

Juventus midfielder Khephren Thuram is currently of interest to Tottenham Hotspur, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport.

Manager Roberto De Zerbi has identified the French international as a potential target to aid his midfield rebuild, and Spurs are closely monitoring Thuram’s situation in Turin.

Juventus are prepared to sanction a permanent sale if an interested party meets their €40 million asking price. Thuram’s positional flexibility is precisely why he appeals to Tottenham.

Capable of orchestrating build-up play as a lone number six or using his frame to drive forward as a box-to-box engine, the ‘extraordinary‘ midfielder is a tactically adaptable option.

Thuram has previously rejected lucrative approaches from Saudi Pro League clubs and Galatasaray, but Juventus’ fiscal reality has left the door open for a summer departure.

Having originally signed him from Nice for €20 million in 2024, the Bianconeri view a €40m sale as an ideal scenario to record a net profit and immediately balance their books.

Tottenham are far from alone in their admiration of Thuram. Strong competition is rapidly materialising across Europe.

Paris Saint-Germain have identified the 25-year-old as a crucial target to bolster their midfield, alongside interest from Liverpool and Manchester United.

With the €40m fee representing a fair price for an established midfielder entering his peak years, Tottenham could turn to Thuram if their pursuit of Mateus Fernandes or Sandro Tonali hits a snag.
