Juventus hy vọng Thuram có thể giúp Kolo Muani thoát khỏi sự kìm kẹp của PSG.

Juventus could use Khephren Thuram as the key to unlocking Paris Saint-Germain striker Randal Kolo Muani, claim reports in Italy, though he is also a Premier League target.

The Bianconeri are eager to reunite with Kolo Muani, who had already been in Turin on loan for seven months in 2025 at a cost of €3.6m.

They were unable to agree on a permanent transfer, with the same true of Tottenham Hotspur at the end of this season, so Juve are back in for his signature.

Kolo Muani in, Thuram out?

The €35m asking price is still too steep for a club that failed to qualify for the Champions League and needs to tighten their belts, but a partial exchange could be the solution.

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, coach Luciano Spalletti is ready to sacrifice France international midfielder Thuram in order to get the centre-forward.

Thuram in turn would be more than open to the switch, as he feels Champions League winners PSG give him a better chance of getting into the France squad more regularly.

He had been purchased from OGC Nice for €20.6m in the summer of 2024 and his value on the transfer market has practically doubled in that time.

There is also interest from the Premier League, with Liverpool, Manchester United, Nottingham Forest and Sunderland all linked.

Paris Saint-Germain could see Thuram as the heir to former Napoli midfielder Fabian Ruiz, whose contract is due to expire in June 2027.
