According to what our colleagues at SempreMilan.it have learned, there are some difficulties that have emerged in the pursuit of Marcus Thuram, namely the ‘excessive’ requests for salary and the competition of PSG.

However, he is not the only option being considered because a profile highly appreciated by the new de facto sporting director Geoffrey Moncada is coming back into fashion at Casa Milan in Victor Bonifcace.

Encouraging numbers

The 22-year-old striker currently plays for Belgian club Union Saint-Gilloise and scored 22 goals in 55 appearances last season across all competitions.

He was particularly impressive in the Europa League as he netted 6 goals in 10 games as Union SG managed to reach the quarter-finals of the competitions which was an unexpected run.

Price tag

The 22-year-old is currently valued at between €10-15m. The Nigerian centre-forward still has a three-year contract with his current club (expiring in 2025) but his latest performances have attracted the interest of several clubs, including Milan.
