Manchester United keen to sign £39m-rated Serie A midfielder

Manchester United are keen to sign Juventus midfielder Khephren Thuram this summer, per Corriere dello Sport.  

Juventus missed out on Champions League qualification after finishing sixth in the Serie A last season, putting them under pressure to generate capital to balance the books. 

They are open to offers for Thuram, as they require a capital gain of £10-11 million by the end of June. The Italian giants want around £35m for him.

Al-Ahli are willing to meet their valuation, but Thuram is unwilling to leave Europe. 

The France international prefers a move to the Premier League, with United among his admirers. 

The Red Devils focused on bolstering their attack last summer, adding Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo and Benjamin Sesko to the squad. The midfield now needs a major revamp. 

Casemiro will leave at the end of this month as a free agent, while Manuel Ugarte could be sold following his underwhelming spell in Manchester.

United have already agreed a deal to sign Ederson from Atalanta. 

Their interest in Nottingham Forest’s Elliot Anderson is well documented, but the financial cost of a deal is prohibitive. 

United’s current focus is on signing West Ham United’s Mateus Fernandes. The Hammers are holding out for around £85m, but United are hoping to negotiate a lower fee.
