Arsenal, Chelsea & Liverpool preparing for transfer war over French starlet

Serie A giants Juventus are in no mood to part ways with their midfield star Khephren Thuram. The Italian side considers Thuram an important part of the team under the guidance of Igor Tudor.

Khephren Thuram joined Juventus in 2024 and thereby put in some impressive displays for the Allianz Stadium side. The Frenchman is not the only Juventus player attracting attention from across Europe. Kenan Yildiz, too, has been linked with a move away from Italy with Arsenal amongst others interested. However, Juventus are firm that the duo are not on the transfer list.

According to a report by Goal, Juventus have turned down offers from several Premier League clubs in the past six months who were keen on adding Khephren Thuram to their teams. The upcoming windows could once again witness a flurry of offers come knocking for top brass in Turin.

What are Juventus doing about the situation?

The Italian team truly believe that they can build their future side with Thuram playing a crucial role in it. Thus making the French midfielder an indispensable part of the team. Similar sentiments are echoed for another talented and swashbuckling youngster, Kenan Yildiz.

As reported by Essential Football before, Chelsea and Arsenal have been closely monitoring the situation surrounding the forward. The decision makers at Juventus do have an answer to fend off interest in their talented and dynamic duo of Thuram and Yildiz. The report by Goal further states that the Juventus general manager, Daniel Comolli, wants to sign new, extended deals with the duo that will majorly deter interested parties.

Which Premier League teams are interested?

Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool are the Premier League clubs that have failed to convince Juventus over the transfer of star midfielder Khephren Thuram. The clubs have faced rejection from the Italian giants in the past six months, indicating that Thuram remained a hot commodity even during the summer transfer period.

This is not the first instance in which Liverpool have been linked with Thuram. The Reds have previously been attributed with interest in the player during Jurgen Klopp’s reign in 2023. Mikel Arteta and Enzo Maresca will not mind having another attempt in January to add a player of the quality of star Khephren Thuram to their squads.
