Juventus are set to sign Khephren Thuram from Nice in the coming days, having already reached an agreement to sign the Frenchman.
He arrives as a highly-rated midfielder from the Ligue 1 side, although he might not be the most high-profile signing Juventus will make this summer.
Juve are still in talks to finalise the necessary formalities to complete the signing and their fans are excited about his arrival.
Khephren comes from a notable family of footballers: his father Lilian Thuram is a former Juventus player and his brother Marcus currently plays for Inter Milan, where they won the Serie A last season.
Faustino Asprilla, who was Lilian Thuram’s teammate at Parma before Thuram left for Juventus, mentioned that while he knew Marcus, he does not know Khephren personally. However, he expressed confidence that Juventus know how to sign good players.
“As for Thuram, well, I’m happy for him: I knew Marcus as a child in Parma, I even taught him some tricks to get past his father… He won the Scudetto with Inter: the best. Now he has to confirm himself. But it seems to me that he is already an established player. I don’t know Khephren, though, but if Juve signed him, it means that he is strong. Juve are unlikely to make a mistake.”
Khephren Thuram has excelled for Nice over the past few seasons and we expect him to do even better when he joins our team.
