Arne Slot’s Liverpool are all set to rival Real Madrid in their pursuit of Juventus midfield mainstay Khephren Thuram.

Khephren Thuram’s consistent performances for Juventus have placed him on the radar of some of the biggest clubs in Europe. The Old Lady will certainly struggle to keep hold of him for long, given the number of clubs that are after his signature.

According to a report from Fichajes, Liverpool and Real Madrid are both interested in the services of the French international. The two European giants could enter into a bidding war for the 24-year-old midfielder.

After making a name for himself at ONGC Nice, Thuram joined Juventus in the summer of 2024, and he hasn’t looked back since. Not only has he established himself as one of their mainstays, but he is also widely regarded as one of the best young players in his position.

His consistent performance, strong physical presence, exceptional passing range, and tactical versatility have placed him on the radar of multiple top clubs. While his contract at the Turin-based club runs until the summer of 2029 and Juventus are reluctant to sell, a sizeable offer could force them to consider his potential departure.

European giants to battle for Thuram

Real Madrid are keen on his signature as Xabi Alonso looks to add more quality to his midfield. The Spanish manager wants more options in the holding role, and the versatile Thuram can certainly help their cause.

Meanwhile, Liverpool have also entered the race for his signature. Even the Reds want another player who can shield the backline and help control the tempo. They really admire Thuram and could rival Los Blancos.

While Juventus have already turned down offers from English clubs, the two European giants are determined to secure his services and could soon launch a move.

The price tag for a potential transfer is expected to be around €70 million. While Real Madrid can certainly afford to push for his signature, the Reds will be hoping Juventus soften their stance as they have already spent a fortune on reinforcing their squad.

The player’s desire could play a big part in any potential transfer, as Juventus, for now, remain reluctant to let go of one of their mainstays.
