AC Milan and Inter are both keen on signing Marcus Thuram on a free transfer given his contract at Borussia Mönchengladbach is expiring, a report claims.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport (via PianetaMilan), both Milanese clubs are keen on the French striker who has 14 goals and 4 assists in 22 matches between the Bundesliga and the DFB-Pokal this season but will leave on a free and try a new adventure from the summer onwards.
Thuram’s future could be in Italy as Inter have been after him for some time, but he also appeals to Milan who are looking for attacking reinforcements and above all the striker for the future.
Milan could well be given a hand by the 25-year-old’s childhood too as he told La Gazzetta dello Sport: “I don’t know why, but when my dad played for Juve, I supported Milan, when he moved to Barcelona I supported Real Madrid.”
To make it even more interesting, Thuram has an idol at both Milan and Inter: “I have always had great admiration for Romelu Lukaku. I followed him when he was very young, he has always been a source of inspiration for me. I hope to become stronger than him, I work every day to become one of the best at world. But I also like Zlatan Ibrahimović a lot. When you have Zlatan in the squad it’s an advantage for everyone. He motivates you to win, to do your best to succeed.”
However, several clubs around Europe are keen such as Barcelona, Bayern Munich and Atlético Madrid and it is probable that Thuram will get a salary of €5m net per season for the next five years from one of the clubs interested in him.
