Report: Premier League interest in Thuram as Juventus prepared to entertain large offers | OneFootball

Khephren Thuram has attracted exploratory interest from a pair of Premier League clubs, with Juventus prepared to consider selling the French midfielder for a fee of between €45 and €50 million as the club scramble to plug a significant financial gap before the end of June.

According to Tuttosport, Juventus have less than a month to generate approximately €55 million in sales to offset the losses from missing out on Champions League football.

Nico Gonzalez’s departure alone will not be sufficient, and with Bremer’s €58 million release clause not activating until July, the club need to find another major sale before the financial year ends.

With Kenan Yildiz categorically off the table, every other key asset is theoretically available, and Thuram, who has already knocked back approaches from Galatasaray and Fenerbahce, is the latest to attract serious attention.

Lobotka and Kessie identified as Thuram replacements if Premier League clubs firm up interest in Juventus star

The Premier League enquiries are described as exploratory at this stage, clubs testing Juventus’s willingness to sell and establishing a price, but the response from Turin is significant.

An offer in the €45-50 million range would represent a substantial profit and would be genuinely considered.

Should Thuram depart, Juventus have identified potential replacements. Stanislav Lobotka remains a long-standing target, though De Laurentiis is unlikely to sell to a direct rival at a cut price despite a €25 million release clause valid for foreign clubs.

Franck Kessie is also under consideration; the Ivorian is set to leave Al-Ahli as a free agent, though Spalletti’s assessment of his profile and his wage demands present complications of their own.
