Marcus Thuram, in great shape with Inter Milan this season, is the center of all attention. The French striker, who has multiplied his top-flight performances, is now the subject of keen interest from two major powers of European football. A battle is brewing to extract the signature of Lilian Thuram’s son.

A unique opportunity for PSG and Liverpool

According to Calciomercato, these two clubs are none other than Paris Saint-Germain and Liverpool. Both want to strengthen their attacking sector and are ready to put £70m on the table to land the player. With 12 goals and 6 assists in 16 Serie A games this season, Marcus Thuram has shown that he is one of the most in-form strikers in Europe.

If Liverpool sees the French international as an ideal complement to its already formidable attack, PSG could make a nod to the past. Indeed, his father, Lilian Thuram, signed for the Parisian club in 2008, before medical problems forced him to cancel his transfer and end his career. Seeing Marcus wear the colors of the French champions would therefore be a dream come true for the family.

Thuram, focused on Inter

For now, Thuram remains fully committed to Inter Milan. Despite a release clause of 85 million euros, the striker still favors dialogue with his club in the event of a transfert. “I don’t want to activate a clause. The discussion with my club is essential”he told La Gazzetta dello Sport.

Between PSG and Liverpool, the competition will be tough to convince Thuram. With his talent and consistency, the French international knows he will be a centerpiece wherever he chooses to play. The suspense remains, but one thing is certain: the former Guingampais has never been so coveted.
