Marcus Thuram, who is wanted by both Inter Milan and Atletico Madrid, is being courted by Kylian Mbappe to join PSG this summer.
According to FCInterNews and French news publication L’Equipe, Mbappe wants the 25-year-old to move to Paris on a free transfer from Borussia Monchengladbach, despite interest from Inter, Atletico, and an unidentified Bundesliga team.
Thuram is scheduled to leave Gladbach this summer on a free transfer.
At the end of this month, the Frenchman’s contract with Gladbach expires. Roland Virkus, the sporting director of Gladbach, has acknowledged that the player has no plans to agree to a new contract.
Now that Thuram is departing from the Bundesliga club, there are no shortage of parties interested in signing him.
According to reports, both AC Milan and Inter are interested in signing him.
Since the World Cup, the Nerazzurri and the Thuram have been in discussions on a potential summer transfer.
In the meantime, it was claimed that Inter came extremely close to signing the Frenchman in 2021. However, a knee injury to the player forced them to change their focus and sign Lazio’s Joaquin Correa as a replacement.
Inter are still quite interested in signing Thuram, according to L’Equipe. Atletico Madrid and an undisclosed Bundesliga team are also included.
Mbappe Wants PSG to sign Marcus Thuram
However, according to the newspaper, Paris Saint-Germain is already starting to make moves to try to sign the 25-year-old.
According to reports, the Parisians believe Thuram has the ideal profile to round out their offensive alternatives for the upcoming campaign. PSG is seeking a center-forward capable of joining their team.
Meanwhile, PSG’s efforts to transfer the former Guingamp player to the city may be aided by Thuram’s French nationality.
According to L’Equipe, PSG superstar Mbappe is especially eager to work with Thuram.
According to reports, the 24-year-old is attempting to persuade the Gladbach star to make the switch now that his future is in his own hands.
