Marcus Thuram can leave Borussia Mönchengladbach for free in the summer. Again and again the attacker is brought up as a possible candidate for FC Bayern. Apparently there won’t be a transfer.
“Internally at FC Bayern, they had dealt with Thuram again in the old year, since he will be on the market free of charge in the summer. Despite the financially attractive situation, they stuck to it: Thuram does not fit the desired striker profile,” revealed “Bild” football boss Christian Falk now opposite the “FCBinside” portal.
The journalist explained that FC Bayern “currently only needs a real nine in the squad”. Head coach Julian Nagelsmann relies on Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting for this position.
But the Munich veteran’s contract also expires in the summer. “We are currently building on an extension with Choupo-Moting,” said Falk, describing FC Bayern’s personnel planning.
Harry Kane “still interesting” for Bayern Munich
In addition, Harry Kane is “still interesting for the German record champions, but currently difficult to implement financially for the coming summer,” said the “Bild” reporter.
“It wouldn’t be the worst situation for Bavaria if Kane let his contract with Tottenham expire. If Choupo were to be extended, the record champions could also wait until 2024 for the England captain,” Falk also drew a possible transfer scenario.
Marcus Thuram from Gladbach to FC Barcelona?
In any case, Thuram will have to look for another club if he wants to leave Gladbach after four years.
As the Spanish newspaper “Mundo Deportivo” reported, the 25-year-old offensive player was recently offered to FC Barcelona through his agent. It is said that the Frenchman has already aroused desires there. In the summer, the personnel could finally pick up speed.
