Juventus push for free Kessié transfer amid Thuram knee concerns
Juventus are pushing to sign midfielder Franck Kessié on a free transfer, motivated partly by worries about Marcus Thuram's knee issues. Thuram has reportedly been managing knee problems, creating a potential need for reinforcement in the attacking/creative areas of the squad. Kessié, available without a transfer fee, represents a low-cost option for the Turin club. The move would be a strategic addition to provide depth and cover as Juventus assess their options in the transfer market.

If Thuram's knee issues persist, Juventus lose creativity and goal threat in the final third, making a like-for-like or complementary addition important. The Kessié link suggests Juventus are preparing contingency rather than committing to a major outlay in January or next summer.
