Real Madrid Considering French Midfield Talent Khephren Thuram as Potential Winter or Summer Signing

With injuries sidelining Aurelien Tchouameni and Eduardo Camavinga until mid-January, Real Madrid is contemplating bolstering their midfield in the upcoming transfer windows. The uncertainty surrounding the futures of Luka Modric and Toni Kroos, both of whom have contracts expiring next summer, adds further weight to the possibility of a new midfield signing.

Khephren Thuram, a highly-rated French international currently with Nice, emerges as a potential target for Real Madrid. The son of former Barcelona and Juventus defender Lilian Thuram, Khephren has been attracting interest from clubs like Manchester United and Liverpool. Notably, his versatility allows him to play as a defensive midfielder or in a more advanced role.

Agent Oscar Damiani, representing Lilian Thuram, has disclosed that he recommended Khephren to Real Madrid, stating, “Khephren would be a better fit at Real Madrid. I have already recommended him to Carlo Ancelotti.”

With the prospect of Modric leaving after losing his starting position and Kroos linked to the Premier League, Khephren Thuram could serve as an attractive option for Real Madrid. Whether the club decides to act on Damiani’s advice remains to be seen, but the young French talent’s skill set positions him as a potential successor to the midfield maestros at the Santiago Bernabeu.
