liverpool And Manchester United are vying for Juventus' Khefren Thuram, who could be sold this summer.
The Reds' Curtis Jones could end up at Inter Milan. sports witness It covers how the Italian champions are trying to pressure him into lowering his asking price. There was a meeting between the two clubs regarding his sale but no agreement could be reached.
At the same time, Inter is optimistic that some progress can be made. There is only a €10 million difference between the parties, which could be made up if Inter made a sale.
Now, Liverpool have identified a replacement but may face competition from Manchester United.
Thuram's price tag is clear
TuttoJuve's Mirco Di Natale reports on Thuram, who missed out on being included in the French national team for the World Cup. Juve have failed to qualify for the Champions League, so their future is in limbo.
While Galatasaray have made inquiries about him, Thuram's future may lie in England.
Liverpool see him as a replacement for Jones. Manchester United are also keeping an eye on the Frenchman, even though they are set to sign Ederson from Atalanta. They are keen on another midfielder, with Elliott Anderson also being monitored along with Thuram.
Juve's valuation is also clear. They demand around €45m to €50m to sell him and that could give them capital gains when they really need it.
This is not the first time England has emerged like this Destination For Thuram. There was already interest from Aston Villa and he also has a good relationship with their squad.
Juve may prioritize England sale
As things stand, Thuram's valuation should be out of the reach of Italian clubs. He has developed considerably and has become one of the best midfielders in Serie A.
His work-rate and proactive approach make him a great fit for English football. Primarily playing at number eight, he can easily slot in at number six as well. His best comes when he moves the ball, which is similar to the profile of Curtis Jones.
The Englishman played regularly at the end of last season. He offered significant value but Thuram could be an upgrade.
As far as Manchester United are concerned, they need someone who can operate deep on a regular basis. Thuram is close to Ederson in this sense and a move to Old Trafford would not make sense.
