Free in June, Borussia Mnchengladbach striker Marcus Thuram is attracting interest from Manchester United. If a move seems complicated this winter, the two parties could find themselves at the end of the season.
Marcus Thuram is a golden bargain.
Highly visible when he came into play with the French team at the 2022 World Cup, second top scorer in the Bundesliga (10 goals)… It is an understatement to say that Marcus Thuram is on the rise at the moment.
The icing on the cake: the 25-year-old striker will reach the end of his contract next June at Borussia Mnchengladbach and will then be able to sign up for free in favor of a club with which he is free to agree from the month of January.
MU limit this winter
And precisely, the former Sochalien is starting to catch the eye of several leaders: after Inter Milan, the Daily Mail revealed this Sunday an interest from Manchester United, which is following the evolution of its file closely! At first glance, the Red Devils are rather looking for a striker from this winter to compensate for the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo, who terminated his lease during the World Cup.
The media, however, specifies that MU may have to tighten their belts in January and could turn to less expensive leads such as Memphis Depay, who could be released from his contract by FC Barcelona, and Vincent Aboubakar, whom Al-Nassr could lend following the arrival of CR7. Save, to better return the burden for Thuram afterwards? Not impossible since the native of Parma and the English seem to share the same timing.
Thuram will wait 6 months
On Saturday, the Bild newspaper explained that M’Gladbach, 8th in the ranking, has done his accounts and believes that it would be preferable to keep the World Cup finalist until the end of his lease, with therefore a free departure at the end of season. Admittedly, the Fohlens would thus make a cross on a small transfer indemnity but they would increase their chances of winning a European qualification, which would bring in as much cash as his departure, that is to say ten million euros.
For his part, the striker would have the opportunity to negotiate a more juicy signing bonus with his future club in June because of his status as a free player, but also to continue to shake the nets to attract new suitors. In short, a win-win deal. According to the same source, the Habs would seek a transfer to Inter, Bayern Munich, MU or Paris Saint-Germain. In this list, two curies out of four are therefore already in the ranks: enough to approach the future with serenity!
