A new era has begun at Juventus. After an excellent job at Bologna, Thiago Motta has officially been appointed head coach of the Piedmontese team. Now at the helm of the Vecchia Signora, the former PSG player is working hard to shape the most competitive squad possible for next season. With this in mind, Tuttosport indicated this Friday that the 41-year-old Italian was ready to part ways with several players: Weston McKennie, Samuel Iling-Junior, Moise Kean, Arkadiusz Milik and Filip Kostic.

In addition to the planned departures, the new Turin architect is also looking towards arrivals… In this regard, the names of Douglas Luiz, Karim Adeyemi and Luis Henrique are notably mentioned. But that’s not all. While the future of Adrien Rabiot, in Real Madrid’s sights, is still not decided, Motta would also like to attract Khéphren Thuram, currently playing for OGC Nice and linked to the Côte d’Azur club until June 2025.

Juve have set their sights on Thuram!

According to the latest information from Sky Italycontacts are already underway between the two clubs and a four-year contract is being discussed. The transalpine media also specifies that the extension (or not) of Adrien Rabiot will not change the situation at all. Juve is, today, determined to offer a new challenge to the native of Reggio Emilia. Author of a goal and an assist in 29 matches in all competitions last season, the former AS Monaco midfielder could then leave the Gym for a check estimated between 15 and 18 million euros, even if the Gym expects much more.

Represented by Rafaela Pimenta in recent months, Thuram had recently decided to join Sport Cover, the famous players’ agency that continues its rise after attracting Geoffrey Kondogbia, Brice Samba, Nordi Mukiele, Seko Fofana, Alban Lafont and Christopher Wooh. A further sign from the interested party regarding the desire to settle his future while his contract ends in a year with the Aiglons. It now remains to be seen whether the different parties will manage to find common ground to finalize this operation…
