Marcus Thuram would have landed shortly before 10:00 a.m. at Milan-Linate airport, according to images broadcast by Sky Sport. “He is there,” an internal source at the Nerazzurro club confirmed to AFP. Aged 25, the French international (10 caps), son of the 1998 world champion and ex-player of Parma and Juventus Turin Lilian Thuram, must pass a medical examination before signing a five-year contract, until in 2028, according to the media.
After Sochaux, Guingamp and Mönchengladbach, the athletic center-forward born in Parma, when his father played there, bet on Inter to pursue a meteoric rise. Inter qualified for the next Champions League, reaching the final of the last edition, beaten by Manchester City (1-0). Thuram, who has gradually transformed into a top striker after a long time as a winger, will play in Lombardy alongside Argentine world champion Lautaro Martinez. He replaces numerically in the internal attack the Bosnian veteran Edin Dzeko, who left for Fenerbahçe, Turkey.
Belgium international Romelu Lukaku, who is expected to return to Chelsea after his year on loan at Inter, could however stay at Milan, despite Thuram’s expected arrival. Discussions are underway with the “Blues” to try to solve the economic equation that would allow “Big Rom” to stay at Inter.
