PSG Pushes for Kephren Thuram, Nice Resists Strongly

P

SG is considering recruiting Kephren Thuram to strengthen the midfield, but Nice doesn’t necessarily agree with this plan.

According to PSG Inside Actus on X, the Parisian club is making a strong effort to sign Thuram’s son. However, Nice’s officials have « currently vetoed a possible departure of K. Thuram, » according to this source. Why? Because Nice is close to qualifying for the Champions League next season, and the leaders don’t want to strengthen a direct competitor. « It therefore seems almost impossible to conclude his transfer during the winter transfer window, » assures this source.

However, « Nice would be willing to sell Thuram if Paris Saint-Germain agrees to loan him immediately for the rest of the season, » notes the X account.

But another factor is complicating the matter… Kephren Thuram injured his knee this week. The return is « hoped for early January, » according to coach Francesco Farioli. « He took a blow to one knee during a training session, » he explained. « As a result, there is a bit of fluid in that knee (synovial effusion). There is some work to be done to restore its full stability. » Will PSG take the risk of signing an injured player?
