Khephren Thuram, 23, the son of legendary defender Lillian and Marcus' younger brother, could be a potential reinforcement for the Blaugrana
Barcelona are eager to find a new pivot that could glue their midfield in the next season. According to Spanish media, besides Everton's Amadou Onana - their first choice - the Blaugrana are trying to agree on a deal with OCG Nice's Khephren Thuram.
The 23-year-old son of Lilian Thuram and the younger brother of Inter Milan's Marcus will be out of his current contract in 2025. However, he could be available at a lower price if he does not reach a new deal with the Ligue 1 side before the end of this season.

Thuram stands at 190cm and would surely be a physically imposing player in front of the defence. Barca's archrival Real Madrid and AC Milan have also shown interest in Thuram III, so we'll have a tough contest for the Frenchman's signature.
