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

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.
