Barça would be pursuing Marcus Thuram. The Catalans see the Frenchman as a possible replacement for Lewandowski in the attack
The center forward 'casting' is at a 'boiling point' at FC Barcelona. The names of figures like Erling Haaland, Viktor Gyökeres, or Jonathan David have echoed in the halls of Spotify Camp Nou in recent weeks as possible replacements for Robert Lewandowski in the attack, and now a new star has reportedly joined the list.
According to 'Mundo Deportivo', Marcus Thuram is on the radar of the Catalan club. The son of former Barça player Lilian Thuram is becoming one of the great sensations of Inter Milan, scoring 11 goals and providing 6 assists in 19 matches. At 27 years old, the striker's level has attracted the interest of several clubs, and the Catalans are said to be closely monitoring his situation.
A complicated signing
However, the race would be very tight. Teams like Liverpool, Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain, Tottenham, and Arsenal are also said to be tracking the 'nerazzurro' forward, whose transfer would not be cheap.
With a contract until 2028, Inter would not ask for less than 85 million euros for his transfer, although the reality is that they are not inclined to part with one of their top figures. Furthermore, the player feels comfortable in Italy and would only consider a move if the offer is irresistible, so for now, his signing seems a distant option.
