Sunderland competes with Nottingham Forest for Juventus midfielder Khephren Thuram

Sunderland is in the mix to sign Juventus midfielder Khephren Thuram, as reported by Calciomercato. The Black Cats aim to secure the French player during this summer transfer window, facing competition from Nottingham Forest. Thuram, 25, is noted for his strong performances in Serie A last season, where he scored four goals and provided five assists in 45 appearances. His contract with Juventus runs until the summer of 2029, making a transfer challenging for Sunderland without meeting the club's demands. The potential acquisition could enhance Sunderland's midfield under coach Regis Le Bris.
