TURIN, Italy — Khephren Thuram signed with his father’s former club Juventus on Wednesday, joining brother Marcus Thuram in Serie A.
Thuram signed a five-year contract with the Bianconeri following a 20 million euro ($22 million) transfer from Nice, the Turin club announced.
Khephren is a 23-year-old midfielder while his father Lilian was a defender and brother Marcus is a forward at Serie A champion Inter Milan.
Khephren received his first call-up to France’s national team last year. He’s one of the first signings by new Juventus coach Thiago Motta after Douglas Luiz, another midfielder, joined from Aston Villa.
Lilian Thuram won the World Cup with France in 1998. Before joining Juventus, he played for Parma and Khephren was born then in nearby Reggio Emilia.
