Galatasaray is interested in Khéphren Thuram, a 25-year-old French Central Midfield player from Juventus, and initial exploratory contacts, described as a preliminary survey, have already occurred between the parties. The Turkish club is reportedly waiting for the outcome of Juventus's effort to qualify for the Champions League before making a definitive move, as the result will influence the Italian club's summer strategies.

If Juventus fails to qualify for the Champions League, Galatasaray would be prepared to present a significant offer. According to information from Turkey, a proposal could reach a total of 35-40 million euros, combining a fixed fee and bonuses. Thuram has four caps for France, joined Juventus in July 2024, has a contract that runs until June 2029, and has a current Transfermarkt market value of €40.00m. Several Premier League clubs, including Liverpool and Manchester United, have also been mentioned in connection with the midfielder.
