Marcus Thuram will complete his medicals and sign his contract ahead of joining Inter Milan on Tuesday.
This according to Italian news outlet Calciomercato.com, who report that the 25-year-old will be in Milan early next week where he will finish up with all the final formalities before signing his contract and officially becoming a Nerazzurri player for the start of next season.
Barring late surprises, Inter have won the race to sign Thuram.
Inter’s pursuit of Gladbach striker Thuram has been a long and winding one.
The Nerazzurri had reportedly been very close to signing the Frenchman already in 2021. However, a knee injury to the player prompted them to move on to other targets, signing Joaquin Correa from Lazio instead.
However, Thuram’s availability on a free transfer this summer reignited their interest.
Now, the Nerazzurri are all but finished with the signing of Thuram.
Reportedly the Frenchman, who appeared as a substitute in the World Cup final for Les Bleus, has already been in contact with Nerazzurri coach Simone Inzaghi.
Thuram is a big fan of Inter’s tactical setup. He has spoken with Inzaghi over the phone about what his role will be in a 3-5-2 system.
