The buzz surrounding Marcus Thuram is reaching a fever pitch. With both Liverpool and Manchester United expressing a keen interest in the 26-year-old striker from Inter Milan, the football community is abuzz with speculation and anticipation. According to credible sources like Calciomercato, a potential blockbuster transfer of €70 million is on the horizon.
Thuram's Journey: From Bundesliga to Serie A
Marcus Thuram's journey to the spotlight began during his time at Borussia Monchengladbach in the Bundesliga. After an impressive four-year stint with the German club, Thuram made a pivotal decision last summer – to seek greener pastures and challenge himself at a higher level. Opting not to extend his contract with Gladbach, Thuram became a free agent, opening the door to a new chapter in his career.
The French international ultimately found his new home at Inter Milan, making waves in the Italian club since the commencement of the current season. Thuram's impact has been nothing short of extraordinary, with 19 appearances and an impressive tally of 16 goals to his name.
A Potential Winter Transfer: Liverpool and Manchester United in the Mix
Despite committing to a five-year deal with Inter Milan, rumors abound that Thuram may be on the move once again, and both Liverpool and Manchester United are eyeing this opportunity with great interest.
Liverpool's Pursuit
Jurgen Klopp, the manager of Liverpool, known for his strategic insights and foresight, is reportedly eager to strengthen his squad's depth, specifically at the number nine position. Despite already boasting two top-tier attackers, Klopp sees Thuram as a valuable addition, praising the Inter Milan striker for his prowess on the field. The potential acquisition could fortify Liverpool's attacking options and elevate the team's competitive edge.
Manchester United's Consideration
Manchester United, on the other hand, may be looking to address some gaps in their attacking lineup. Rasmus Hojlund, their notable summer signing, has yet to provide all the answers. Thuram, with his goal-scoring prowess, seems tailor-made for the vision of Erik ten Hag, Manchester United's manager, who has expressed a desire to add a prolific scorer to his roster.
Financial Implications for Inter Milan
While Inter Milan would undoubtedly be reluctant to part ways with Thuram, the financial situation of the club may necessitate such a move. Despite potential sadness over losing a key player, the club stands to benefit financially from Thuram's departure. Given that the French striker arrived at Inter Milan on a free transfer last summer, any potential transfer could result in a significant profit, potentially reaching €70 million.
