Holder of a Master’s degree in sports journalism, I fell in love with tennis since childhood and have always loved reading the great stories of this sport. Today, I want to tell them about them, take full advantage of my passion and be as close as possible to the aces of the circuit.
Selected with the France team to play in Euro 2024, Marcus Thuram should have the opportunity to shine on the pitch. The French striker joined Inter Milan for five years last summer, a great way to relaunch his career. Spotted almost everywhere in Europe, he nevertheless had the opportunity to join another big club, namely PSG. But he immediately had a special link with Italy…
By trusting that he feels ready before facing theAustria Monday, Marcus Thuram will surely have to assume a new responsibility in this Euro since Olivier Giroud would start on the bench. But the French striker is not afraid of challenges, having already made strong choices in his career, particularly in relation to his future at club.
Inter took the lead
Great recruit from Borussia Monchengladbach in 2019, Marcus Thuram cut his teeth in Germany for a few seasons before receiving particular interest fromInter Milan. It was in the summer of 2023 that the French international set down his bags in Italy even though he had the opportunity to join PSG. Lilian Thuram’s son ultimately decided otherwise and the choice was the right one for him. “How did the Inter Milan opportunity arise? The first contacts date back to the summer of 2021, I played left winger in Mönchengladbach. When I speak with Inter, I quickly understand that their plan is to make me play up front. At the time, I didn’t really understand. Dad told me I was going to finish up front, other people did too, but from there to Inter buying me to play up front, it was surprising. But, in fact, it was the club that knew me best,” entrusts Thuram in an interview for France Football.
“It seemed obvious to me”
“I got injured against Leverkusen and the transfer went wrong, but they always got news. When they came back after the 2022 World Cup, it seemed obvious to me, especially since I was now playing up front in Gladbach. There was no reason to waver. When we have a clear idea, we remain focused despite other interests (AC Milan, PSG)” has followed Marcus Thuram.
