Sky Germany: Milan’s pursuit of Thuram complicated as Leipzig enter race

By Isak Möller -

Marcus Thuram remains the No.1 choice for the attack but despite tabling a pretty good offer, AC Milan are yet to receive a response. In the meantime, RB Leipzig are ready to join the race. 

Thuram’s contract with Borussia Monchengladbach will expire at the end of the month and he’s set to leave on a free transfer. Milan are very interested and have even tabled an offer worth €5m per year, according to Tuttosport.

However, as reported by Sky Germany, Thuram is yet to make a decision and this has opened up the race. Paris Saint-Germain are one of the frontrunners as well but now Leipzig are now ready to join the race with great seriousness.

Furthermore, Thuram’s entourage are asking for a sign-on fee of €10m, although the talks are going ‘in many directions’. If these demands are true then Milan will likely have to withdraw from the race, while the likes of PSG and Leipzig appear ready to stay.

    1. They’re about to sell Gvardiol to Man City for crazy money. And they do this most years. And are an established Champion’s League club now with large home attendances in a stadium they own.

      That, and Red Bull.

    2. They are seller player. Every season they sell player , have stadium and play on CL . They are competitive on bundesliga

      1. I won’t call them “competitive” on Bundesliga though. I would agree if you said DFB Pokal. Bundesliga belong to Bayern Munchen.

        1. They can consistent secure top 4 in bundesliga even they sell their starter player . Thats why i say competitive . In AC Milan you sell your starter like maignan,theo,leao,tonali and you will be out from top 4. Competitive have different meaning for fans and owner. For fans of course winning all trophy without care about club financial and just say it is not their business like bartolomeo etc , for redbull ( leipzig owner ) that means finish top 4 each season while selling starter player for capital gain. I dont side with RedBull or american owner, just personal opinion

  1. Sign on fee. Yeah right.
    If those are the kind of agents Thuram has might as well pull the plug now and focus on realistic targets. End of the day dude is no superstar, not even a star, not even the best player in mgladbach

    1. Thanks for you valuable insight man, Milan is ready to offer him one of the biggest contracts in the club because he’s such a shtty player. We will be much better with some no name from the Albanian league to reach our exquisite goal of the 4th Serie A spot.

      1. Last season Thuram only score 16 goals. Furthermore, 3 goals are just against 5th tier German club at DFB Pokal. To make matter worse, he almost reach his peak.

      2. It’s a signing fee this time. When it’s time for renewal Milan will again be blackmailed with a singing bonus or something. Its a classic Mino operating way. Pass!
        Everdivisie has a shit tone of potential strikers that will come cheap.
        Also I never said he is a shity player i just said he isn’t a star nor the best player in his current club. Lost ya reading glasses?

      3. i never said he is a shty player. you did. I said he was not the best player in mgladbach. Which is true. Hofmann was the best player with 12G6A.
        As for the signing bonus its a clasic Mino way of doing things.. Bonus now, bonus when its time to renew and before you know it you throw 30M€ at a guy that came in “free”
        MIght as well buy one of the everdivise strikers. People forget we have Giroud he only needs a back up Milan does not need a starting striker by any means necessary

        1. Yeah good point with the bonuses, but it means we will have to invest anyway. Even free agents are not really free these days. Better get him than some unknown guy, he’s playing for the French national team and he’s versatile, could be a lined up at LW when Leao needs some rest or ST. I have big respect for Giroud but he’s almost 38, and as impressive as he was this season playing almost every game, we should consider he could struggle physically like Zlatan. Why not some Eredivisie striker as you said, I don’t know them but I trust Moncada, I just hope the guy we will sign will already be ready to start occasionally.

  2. This is the same site, that reported “Leao will not, renew his contract with Milan” six months ago.. So I doubt the reliability of this article by Sky Germany!

  3. Make last offer 5m euro nett / years and signing fee 10m euro . If he still dont want accept offer ,better AC Milan go to other target

  4. Leipzig’s entire market strategy is waiting for Milan to show interest in a player and signing them first; Dani Olmo, Szoboszlai, Samardzic, Simakan 😂
