Roma target Juventus midfielder Kephren Thuram to replace Kone

AS Roma are scouting Juventus midfielder Kephren Thuram as a replacement for departing defender Kone, with the search centred at the club’s Trigoria headquarters. The French midfielder has emerged as the leading prospect in Roma’s effort to plug the defensive gap created by the imminent loss of Manu Koné. In the bustling Trigoria headquarters, AS Roma’s scouting department is evaluating Juventus’ midfield roster. The Celik case continues to cast a long shadow over Roma, shaping the club’s transfer agenda. Its lingering impact has forced the scouting department to prioritise immediate reinforcements. Giallorossi management has therefore turned its attention to Juventus, believing a midfielder from the Turin side offers the most direct solution to the defensive gap left by Manu Koné. The club views a Juventus midfielder as the viable replacement for the departing defender.
