Marseille and Inter Milan in the fight for a striker
Always on the lookout for market opportunities, OM and Inter Milan are waging a long-distance battle to complete the signing of Marcus Thuram.
Second top scorer in the Bundesliga this season with a total of 10 goals in 15 games, Marcus Thuram was called up at the last minute by Didier Deschamps to compete in the World Cup in Qatar with the French team. If he remains very focused on his adventure at the World Cup, the tricolor striker is also preparing to experience a very turbulent winter transfer window. And for good reason, his future at Borussia M’Gladbach is still not settled.
OM Mercato: Marseille and Inter Milan on pole for Marcus Thuram
Despite the various proposals of its management, Marcus Thuram has not yet extended his contract which expires next June with the German club. At the end of the World Cup in Qatar, he only has six months left on his contract with Borussia M’Gladbach. He will therefore be free to negotiate with the club of his choice in January 2023. On the strength of this contractual situation, several European clubs are working behind the scenes to convince him to sign. And if Bayern Munich aims to lure him into their nets, two suitors have already taken the lead for his signature. According to the latest information from Dello Sports Gazettethey are Olympique de Marseille and Inter Milan.
OM are a longtime courtier of the young tricolor striker. After several unsuccessful attempts, the Marseille club intends to return to the charge for its signature this winter, in the hope of having more success this time. The Marseillais are even preparing an offer to convince him to sign as soon as possible. The source adds that the leaders of Olympique de Marseille have recently approached the entourage in order to find out about his financial requirements.
For its part, the management of Inter Milan has sent its emissaries to Qatar to meet with the Thuram clan. The objective of this future meeting is of course to prepare the ground for his possible transfer to Serie A. The Nerazzurri are even preparing an offer to kill all competition in this file. It is therefore a big battle that is looming for the former Guingampais.
