Khephren Thuram, a midfielder for Juventus, is apparently being closely watched by Manchester United as the Italian team gets ready for a challenging summer following their failure to qualify for the Champions League.
Corriere dello Sport claims that United is interested in the France international, who may fetch up to £35 million.
A midfielder of his age, profile, and athletic caliber rarely becomes available for a fair price, which makes that pricing intriguing.

After placing sixth in Serie A the previous season—a campaign that Reuters characterized as part of a significant upheaval in Italian football—Juventus is facing financial difficulties.
The team has to raise money since they missed out on Champions League revenue. According to sources, they need to make a capital gain of between £10 and £11 million by the end of June.
For Man United, the transaction makes sense
He can help United become more athletic in central areas, carries the ball well, and is powerful in duels.
According to the club’s official website, Juventus signed him from Nice in 2024 on a five-year deal that would last until 2029.
This indicates that, from a contract perspective, they are not desperate, but the financial circumstances alter the scenario.
According to reports, Thuram does not want to leave Europe, but Al-Ahli is willing to fulfill Juventus’ valuation.
United is one of the teams interested in him moving to the Premier League.
That choice can be quite important. Although United has lost out on many midfield targets in recent transfer windows, if they act swiftly, this one seems doable.
Due to Thuram’s wish to remain in Europe and Juventus’ financial need, United may have a real chance to acquire a potent midfield improvement.
