Juventus are reportedly unwilling to include Khephren Thuram in a deal to sign Inter Milan outcast Davide Frattesi.

According to Matteo Moretto via FCInter1908, the Frenchman remains a key part of Luciano Spalletti’s project in Turin.

Davide Frattesi is on the verge of severing ties with the Nerazzurri after being deemed surplus to requirements.

Indeed, Cristian Chivu has sidelined the 26-year-old from his first-team plans, making his exit increasingly likely.

Meanwhile, Spalletti is a big-time admirer of the former Sassuolo midfielder.

Despite attracting Fenerbahce’s interest, Frattesi has no intention of leaving Serie A.

Instead, he’s keen to reunite with his former Italy manager, Spalletti, at the Allianz Stadium.

On the other hand, Inter have set their sights on Thuram and would like to include him in a swap deal for Frattesi.

However, the record-time Italian champions have no interest in letting the Frenchman join his brother at San Siro.

Therefore, Juventus would likely have to meet Inter’s €35 million asking price for their wantaway star.
