Despite the presence of a release clause in his contract, Inter don’t have particular worries about Thuram staying put at this stage. They’d rather he did that, even though he’d be a massive plusvalenza since they signed him on a free last summer.

According to Corriere dello Sport, no European powerhouse has concretely inquired about him. He has routinely stated he’s very comfortable in Milan, so it wouldn’t be surprising if he rebuffed the potential offers.

At this stage, no team is considering activating his €85M release clause, but Inter could potentially be open for business for Thuram for a little less than such a figure. The prospective threats are PSG, who’ll search for Kylian Mbappé heir, and the Premier League giants.

The former Borussia Moenchengladbach star has exceeded expectations in Serie A, proving to be an ideal partner for Lautaro Martinez. He has tallied 15 goals and 13 assists in 44 matches across all competitions this season.

The Nerazzurri are indeed in the market for a new striker, although he’d replace Marko Arnautovic and not the Frenchman in their ideal plans. They’ll have to offload the veteran and bring in funds through some sales to nab a quality one, though.

Our Take on Inter and Thuram

They were in a similar spot and had the same posture with André Onana last year, and then things snowballed in a hurry when a side put a pile of cash on the table. While unlikely, a departure wouldn’t be shocking.
