Juventus eyes €45‑50m sale of Khephren Thuram
Khephren Thuram has attracted exploratory interest from two Premier League clubs, and Juventus is prepared to consider selling the French midfielder for €45‑50 million. The club aims to close a significant financial gap before the end of June.
Juventus requires approximately €55 million in sales to offset losses from missing the Champions League. Nico Gonzalez’s departure alone will not meet that target, and Bremer’s €58 million release clause does not activate until July. Kenan Yildiz is categorically off the table, leaving other assets available.
Thuram has already rejected approaches from Galatasaray and Fenerbahce, and now Premier League enquiries are described as exploratory. An offer in the €45‑50 million range would represent a substantial profit and would be genuinely considered by Juventus.
Juventus has identified Stanislav Lobotka as a long‑standing target, though De Laurentiis is unlikely to sell him to a direct rival despite a €25 million release clause for foreign clubs. Franck Kessie is also under consideration; the Ivorian is set to leave Al‑Ahli as a free agent, while Spalletti evaluates his profile and wage demands.
A sale of Thuram would be a key component of Juventus’ plan to generate the required revenue before the financial year ends. The club remains focused on securing another major sale before June.
