According to Gianluca Di Marzio Fabrizio Romano, Inter Milan are in direct contact with Borussia Monchengladbach for winger Marcus Thuram. The news comes as no surprise considering the money the Scudetto champions received in the sale of Romelu Lukaku. So far, they have brought in Edin Dzeko and Denzel Dumfries, with Dzeko considered a direct replacement for Lukaku.
Gladbach have so far stuck to their guns regarding Thuram’s price tag of €30 million, with Inter yet to decide whether to make a move or not. It will be interesting to see whether a deal can get done with just over a week left of the transfer window.
Inter Milan in Direct Contact for Marcus Thuram
Winger Emerges After Zapata Failure
With Atalanta keen to keep hold of Duvan Zapata, Inter have quickly turned their attentions to Gladbach winger Marcus Thuram in their pursuit to strengthen what now seems a far weaker squad without Romelu Lukaku. Zapata would have been an ideal replacement for the forward, but it seems as though a deal remains unlikely.
Heading into the new season, Juventus will be desperate to regain the Italian throne they lost to Inter Milan last season. Having strengthened with signings themselves this summer, including Sassuolo’s Manuel Locatelli, Juventus once again look ready to steal the Serie A crown.
With Massimiliano Allegri back at the helm, too, anything is possible for the Turin club. Cristiano Ronaldo, going into the last year of his Juventus deal, will also have something to say about Inter Milan’s aforementioned title retainment aspirations. Back in front of a full Allianz Stadium, the iconic forward will be keen to entertain.
One thing that is certain is the newfound competitive nature in the Serie A. The likes of Lazio, Inter, Juventus and Roma all have new managers with fresh aspirations of a top season ahead.
