The news was confirmed by Giuseppe Marotta, the managing director of Inter Milan at the microphone of Sky Sport. Marcus Thuram, who left the headquarters of the Lombard club at the end of the evening on Tuesday, has signed up with the Italian team until 2028. The striker, who has reached the end of his contract with Borussia Mönchengladbach, will thus become the 18th French player from Inter, and the Nerazzurri’s first summer signing. The formalization will surely take place next week, not before July 1 according to the Gazetta dello Sport.
The player passed the medical examination on Tuesday afternoon, accompanied by his father Lilian, a former Parma and Juventus player, before signing his contract at the end of the evening. After Sochaux, Guingamp and Mönchengladbach, Thuram finally chose Inter to continue his rise, ruling out the idea of a transfer to Paris Saint-Germain.
Considered by the Parisian club as a great market opportunity because he is free of any contract and versatile in attack, the Les Bleus striker was nevertheless seduced by the idea of playing in Paris, a city he knows well, and to find under this jersey his friend Kylian Mbappé. Thuram, 16 goals and 7 assists in the Bundesliga this season, would however have received more assurances on his playing time than at PSG, where the competition would be fiercer in attack. He will replace Edin Dzeko, who left for Fenerbahçe, Turkey, numerically, and he should play alongside Lautaro Martinez.
