Inter Milan are heading towards their 21st Scudetto. Currently 12 points ahead of Naples and still in contention in the Italian Cup, the Nerazzurri can count on an excellent Marcus Thuram at the end of the season. The 28-year-old French striker continues high-level performances with four goals and two assists in his last three Serie A matches, including a scoring double against Como, then also a goal against Roma. He now brings his total to 16 goals and 7 assists in all competitions, coming just two goals shy of his best record in an interist jersey. Despite a season marked by some more irregular periods, notably in February where he went through a slump, the Frenchman responded in this final sprint.
In important moments, Thuram also had to compensate for offensive absences, particularly that of Lautaro Martínez, like Bonny or the rising star of Inter Milan, Pio Esposito. Complicity with its captain remains a central element of Inter’s offensive sector. And Marcus Thuram also insisted on their understanding at a press conference: “Lautaro is our captain, he is a real leader. He welcomed me to Inter from the first days and it is true that we get along very well. We don’t need words to understand what the other wants to do. I think we make a pretty dangerous duo.”. A complementarity which allows Inter to remain formidable.
Marcus Thuram wakes up at the best time
After a generally irregular 2025-2026 season on an individual level, Thuram seems to have found continuity at the most important moment, while Inter is aiming for a new coronation in Serie A. Already Italian champion in 2023-2024, he could thus add a second Serie A title to his record and register a little more in the recent history of the club. The player himself explained that he had regained confidence after the last meeting with the France team in March, where he had been very interesting: “scoring again with the France team did me good”he said, before adding: “I came back with more confidence than when I left, it’s better for Inter. »
Finally, his latest performances with the Blues confirm this positive dynamic. During the last match against Colombia, he stood out with a goal and an assist after a long period without scoring for the selection. “We played against a really very aggressive opponent, we knew how to do things and win. I hope I helped the team with a goal and an assist, it feels good, it helps the team win. It always feels good when the French team wins”he explained after the meeting at the microphone of TF1. A few months before the 2026 World Cup, this rise in power comes at the best time for a player who now intends to establish himself sustainably in the rotation of the Blues and take advantage of the serious injury of Hugo Ekitiké to strengthen his status in the selection during the World Cup. This Tuesday, against Como, he will have to once again confirm his good form again and qualify his team for the final of the Italian Cup.
