Borussia Monchengladbach forward Marcus Thuram has been offered to Barcelona by his agents, according to reports. The 25-year-old will become a free agent at the end of the season and has been linked with a move away from the Bundesliga club for a new challenge.
Thuram wants to leave Borussia Monchengladbach
Thuram has made it clear that he wants to leave the Bundesliga club in June and has been linked with several clubs including Inter, Manchester United, Chelsea, Paris Saint-Germain, and Atletico Madrid.
Barcelona is also on the list of his potential destinations, and he reportedly considers it one of his best opportunities, despite the possibility of earning a more lucrative deal at a Premier League team.
Thuram, who made five substitute outings for France at the World Cup, has contributed 11 goals and three assists in the Bundesliga this season. His impressive performances have caught the attention of several clubs, including Manchester United, Newcastle United, and Chelsea.
Barcelona interested in Thuram’s profile
Barcelona, who are in need of reinforcements for the upcoming season, have shown interest in Thuram’s profile, particularly his versatility, according to Mundo Deportivo. The fact that he is available on a free transfer is likely to be another reason why Barcelona are considering him.
However, Barcelona could face difficulties in securing Thuram due to Financial Fair Play restrictions. The club is looking to reduce its wage bill, and this could mean that at least one high-profile exit is expected to have to occur to help balance the books.
Other clubs interested in Thuram Barcelona are not the only club interested in Thuram. Chelsea, PSG, Atletico, Inter, and Manchester United are also said to be keen on the versatile attacker.
Thuram set to leave Monchengladbach
Thuram will be departing Borussia Monchengladbach in the summer after a four-year stay, and it has already been confirmed that he will leave at the end of his contract. Monchengladbach’s star man will be looking for a new challenge and could end up at any of the interested clubs.
Thuram’s family link to Barcelona There’s also an obvious family link as Thuram’s father Lilian played for the Catalans for two years and has already said he’d love to see his son follow in his footsteps.
Thuram is a highly sought-after player, and Barcelona’s interest in him is no surprise. However, with several other clubs also interested in his services and Financial Fair Play restrictions to consider, it remains to be seen where Thuram will end up playing next season.
