Juventus are prepared to sanction a permanent sale if an interested party meets their €40 million asking price. Thuram’s positional flexibility is precisely why he appeals to the recruitment hierarchy at N17. Capable of dropping deep to orchestrate build-up play as a lone number six or using his frame to drive forward as a box-to-box engine, the ‘extraordinary’ midfielder represents a tactically adaptable option.

Tottenham are far from alone in their admiration. Strong competition is rapidly materialising across Europe, with Paris Saint-Germain identifying the midfielder as a crucial target to bolster their midfield, alongside interest from Liverpool and Manchester United. With the €40 million fee representing a fair price for an established midfielder entering his peak years, Tottenham could turn to Thuram if their pursuit of Mateus Fernandes or Sandro Tonali hits a snag.
