Manchester United are considering a move for Inter Milan’s in-form striker Marcus Thuram, who has an €85 million release clause.
According to Inter Live, Manchester United have a concrete interest in French striker Marcus Thuram. The in-form Inter Milan star has an €85 million release clause, which the Red Devils are reportedly willing to trigger. The club could look at improving their forward department.
Manchester United has been in the news recently regarding Inter Milan after reports emerged that Simone Inzaghi rejected an approach to become their new manager. The future of Erik ten Hag remains at the forefront of all speculation regarding the club, but now they are linked with a Nerazzurri striker.
The in-form Marcus Thuram has emerged as a viable target for Manchester United as they attempt to improve their forward line. The attacker will cost a reported €85 million if Inter Milan are to sell him, which the report states is a release clause in his contract that was revealed amid interest from other sides like Arsenal.
Manchester United did sign Joshua Zirkzee, but the Dutch striker is yet to hit the ground running. There have been speculation about an immediate return to Italy for the Dutchman. Hence, there are links to a new striker, with Thuram the latest to be linked.
The report states that Manchester United are willing to pay the sum needed for the €85 million-rated productive striker. Other forward names are mentioned, such as Randal Kolo Muani, although the PSG star is not expected to be made available in January.
Inter Milan could sell Marcus Thuram
Inter Milan recognise that Thuram has been one of their key stars since his arrival on a free transfer last summer and will be expected to make a compelling case about selling him. However, their interest in soon-to-be free agent Jonathan David provides interesting insight as to what the club might be planning, which includes selling Thuram for a huge price and bringing in the Canadian.
With Manchester United reportedly willing to fork out a large sum to land the €85 million-rated striker, it might be a big market opportunity for Inter to cash in and sign free agent David. Hence, one cannot rule out the prospect of Thuram leaving despite his influence in that team led by Inzaghi.
