Inter Milan striker Marcus Thuram has played himself onto the radar of Premier League leaders Liverpool, with the Frenchman’s form said to have impressed the powers that be at Merseyside.
Liverpool’s interest in the French forward dates back to 2020, when he was reportedly considered as an option before the signing of Diogo Jota.
The France international attracted significant interest from several Premier League clubs in the summer of 2023 when he left Borussia Monchengladbach on a free transfer.
Thuram eventually joined Inter Milan upon the expiration of his contract at Gladbach and has greatly impressed for the Nerazzurri.
He has registered 23 goals and 19 assists in 61 appearances, including 13 goal contributions in just 15 matches this season.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Thuram’s performances have caught the attention of Liverpool manager, Arne Slot, who has urged the club’s recruitment team to revisit their earlier scouting reports on the striker.
Liverpool are said to be in contact with Thuram’s representatives, reaffirming their interest in a potential move. While his £70 million release clause represents a significant investment, it would simplify the negotiation process.
However, the player is reportedly uninterested in leaving Inter. In recent weeks, he has expressed his love for the club both publicly and privately, assuring the Nerazzurri that he currently sees his future in Milan.
Liverpool’s pursuit of attacking reinforcements is largely driven by uncertainty surrounding Mohamed Salah’s future, with the Egyptian’s contract set to expire at the end of the season.
To prepare for his possible departure, Liverpool are exploring alternatives, including Brentford’s Bryan Mbeumo, Bournemouth’s Antoine Semenyo, Real Sociedad’s Takefusa Kubo, and even Real Madrid’s Rodrygo.
