A French midfielder leaves Juventus, another arrives. At the end of his contract and after 5 years in Piedmont, Adrien Rabiot has not re-signed and probably will not. A hard blow for the Old Lady who had made him one of its key players in recent seasons. To replace him, the Italian club recruited Douglas Luiz, recruited for €50 million from Aston Villa. The Brazilian is not coming alone since Khéphren Thuram is also arriving in the squad. The news has just been made official.
“Khéphren Thuram’s transfer from OGC Nice to Juventus is official: the midfielder born in 2001 has signed a five-year contract until June 30, 2029“, reveals the Juventus press release. According to our information, the total amount of the operation is estimated at €25 million.
A first professional experience abroad
For Lilian Thuram’s second son, it’s a return to his country of birth. Born in Reggio Emilia when his father wore the colours of Parma, the former Monaco player is following in his father’s footsteps as he himself played for the Bianconeri between 2001 and 2006. With much greater competition than at OGC Nice in midfield, the midfielder will have to work twice as hard to succeed under Thiago Motta, the new Bianconeri coach.
The French international (1 cap) has shown his ability to break through the lines with the ball at his feet, but his nonchalance has also played tricks on him. Despite his great qualities, he has sometimes been criticized for his lack of investment on the pitch. If that could be enough in Ligue 1 and at Nice, it will probably not be the same at Juventus in one of the biggest clubs in Europe. It is also the condition for him to join the French team in the long term, and join his brother whom he will find in Serie A.
