Khephren Thuram is once again at the center of transfer speculation ahead of the summer window.
The French midfielder at Juventus has not been called up by Didier Deschamps for the upcoming World Cup in the United States, a development that has reignited discussions over his future in Turin.
According to Tuttosport, several clubs across Europe and beyond are closely monitoring his situation, with the possibility of both staying and leaving the club still open.

Saudi and European Clubs Circle as Juventus Set Price Tag
Among the emerging rumors, interest from Saudi Arabia has been mentioned, with Al Ahli reportedly considering a significant financial offer.
The proposal from the Saudi Pro League would be substantial in contractual terms, but it has not convinced the player from a sporting perspective.
Other clubs, including Galatasaray, have also made exploratory enquiries. However, the operation is considered complex due to both financial demands and the player’s current intentions.
Juventus would only consider selling Thuram for an offer in the region of €45–50 million, a valuation that would also guarantee an important capital gain for the club.
The Bianconeri, however, are not actively pushing for a sale and would only accept a truly convincing proposal.
Player Prioritizes Europe Despite Growing Interest
Despite increasing external interest, Thuram is reportedly cold on the idea of moving to Saudi Arabia, with his entourage carefully assessing options without opening the door to an immediate departure.

The midfielder’s priority remains to continue his development in a competitive European environment, either by staying at Juventus or potentially moving to the Premier League if a transfer were to materialize.
England is currently seen as the most attractive destination in the event of an exit, with several top Premier League clubs—reportedly including Liverpool and Manchester United—monitoring his situation and gathering information on costs and availability.
For now, the player is believed to be fully focused on consolidating his role in Juventus’ long-term project, while any decision on his future is expected to depend on both sporting project and timing.
