Juventus have bolstered their midfield significantly by signing Khephren Thuram alongside Douglas Luiz. Alongside their existing players Manuel Locatelli and Weston McKennie, the team could have a whole new look under Thiago Motta.
The 23-year-old was close to joining Liverpool last summer, but the Premier League club could not get a deal over the line in spite of an agreement on personal terms. This year, he has opted to reunite with his brother, Marcus, in Italy. The two brothers will now be playing for rival clubs, however, in what will add a whole new layer to the equation.
