OGC Nice midfielder Khephren Thuram is reportedly the subject of a transfer battle between AC Milan, Inter and Juventus, the three big rivals in Italian football.

According to what is being reported by Calciomercato.com, Juventus sporting director Cristiano Giuntoli is planning for a future that he hopes will have Thiago Motta as the head coach, and he is beginning to think about strengthening the team.

Khephren Thuram – the brother of Inter player Marcus and son of Lilian – has been on their radar for several weeks. Giuntoli believes that Thuram is the ideal midfielder for the future of the Bianconeri, given his age, physical strength, vision of the game and favourable contractual situation.

In fact, Thuram’s contract with Nice expires in June 2025, a condition which means he could be allowed to leave for a reasonable fee in the summer. Sources in France even speak of a figure in the €15-20m range.

Milan and Inter are both big admirers of Thuram too but at present it is Juventus who have taken the most concrete steps to sign him. The midfielder expects to leave Nice in the summer and take the next step in his career, which might well be in Serie A.
