Liverpool Revive Khéphren Thuram Pursuit Amid Juventus Sale

Liverpool have circled back to a familiar name. Khéphren Thuram, once a leading target under Jürgen Klopp, is back on the Anfield radar, with Juventus now increasingly open to a sale this summer, according to Corriere dello Sport.

The French international only arrived in Turin from OGC Nice, yet his name has never drifted far from Premier League recruitment meetings. Liverpool were serious contenders for his signature before that move to Serie A, viewing the powerful, press-resistant midfielder as a natural fit for their evolving engine room. For reasons that were never fully aired, the switch to Merseyside stalled and the door quietly closed.

It has swung open again.

Juventus, looking to reshape their squad and raise funds, are now seen as likely to sanction Thuram’s departure in the upcoming window. That stance has alerted not just Liverpool but a clutch of English clubs ready to test the Italian side’s resolve.

Liverpool’s interest comes in a different context this time. Klopp has gone, but the need for physicality, dynamism and versatility in midfield has not. Thuram, at 25, sits in that sweet spot: old enough to have top-level experience, young enough to grow into a long-term pillar of a new era.

The chase will not be uncontested. Manchester United have joined the conversation, eyeing midfield reinforcements of their own as they try to inject more energy and athleticism into the spine of their team. Nottingham Forest are also in the frame, hoping the lure of regular Premier League minutes and a central role in their project can put them in the mix against far wealthier rivals.

Interest is no longer the issue. Juventus’ willingness to sell has turned Thuram into one of the more intriguing midfield options on the market. The question now is simple: which Premier League club moves first, and how high are they prepared to go to prise him out of Turin?
