Arsenal Ahead of Liverpool in the Race To Land Marcus Thuram
According to Football Insider, Arsenal have leapfrogged Liverpool in the race to sign Inter Milan forward Marcus Thuram during the summer transfer window.
The Gunners are expected to spend large at the end of the campaign. An elite striker is the main priority for the London heavyweights, however that may be the club could further invest in a versatile forward.
Thuram would be a perfect fit for the latter and Football Insider purport that the Gunners have an upper hand over Arne Slot’s side in the pursuit of the Frenchman, who has a £71 million release clause in his deal.
Meanwhile, Inter Milan have began negotiations over a new long-term contract, and they are prepared to do all they can to keep hold of their prized asset during the next transfer window.
Thuram signed for the Serie The champions on a free transfer from Borussia Monchengladbach in 2023. He bagged 15 scores and 6 assists as a striker previous season and looks set to better his statistics in the ongoing campaign.
This also trended:
The former Guingamp man has administered 16 scores and 4 assists with another 2 months of the season left. He has commenced in a front two alongside Lautaro Martinez, however has played plenty of games on the left wing in his long career.
His versatility could becharm the eye of top European clubs. Arsenal have been credited with a relevancy in signing the talented attacker, none the less we doubt whether the board will make a large outlay on him, considering he will turn 28 in August.
The Gunners may prefer to invest on younger players with plenty of room for development. Athletic Bilbao’s Nico Williams comes to our mind. The Spaniard can play on either wing. He is only 22 and should only get better with experience.
For the centre-forward role, the London giants could swoop for RB Leipzig’s Benjamin Sesko, having failed with an approach previous summer. The 21-year-old can be signed for a release clause between £59 million and £67 million.
