Paolo Bruno/Getty Images Juventus midfielder Khephren Thuram has now become ‘the leading candidate’ to be sold by the Bianconeri, with Liverpool again namechecked as keen. Liverpool may want to add more depth to the middle of the park and it has been suggested that the Merseyside club have been keeping tabs on Thuram this summer.

Thuram has been the subject of substantial interest from the Premier League, and last month, Sunderland and Nottingham Forest contacted Juventus about the Frenchman’s availability. According to Italian outlet Calciomercato.com, Thuram has now become ‘the leading candidate’ to be sold by the Bianconeri.

Liverpool, Paris Saint-Germain and Galatasaray have all been namechecked as potential destinations for the midfielder. Thuram has recently rejected big-money offers from Al Ahli and Galatasaray and it appears the 25-year-old midfielder would prefer to stay in one of Europe’s top five leagues.
