Inter Milan fits him like a glove. Arriving this summer to replace, among others, the departures of Romelu Lukaku and Edin Dzëko, Marcus Thuram shines and makes his attacking companion Lautaro Martinez (10 goals) shine. With 2 goals but above all 7 assists in 8 days of Serie A in a team 2nd in the ranking, the French center forward has adapted perfectly to his new team. However, during the last summer transfer window, Paris Saint-Germain held out their hands to him. For The TeamMarcus Thuram reconsidered his choice to join Italy rather than return to France, to the capital. “You should know that two years ago, Inter contacted me, I played as a winger but they already identified me as a 9. Few of them had this vision. . They had very precise knowledge of my potential development”first comments the ex-Gladbach striker.
He pursues : “I spoke with a lot of other clubs. It was not an easy choice. It was a choice that would define my career. I know I did the right thing. I don’t ask anyone to understand my choice. I know why I made this choice. I know that people who know football know what Inter Milan represents, the immense players who have played there. When we put on this jersey, we feel that we are wearing a story. There is an extraordinary enthusiasm, when we meet people in the street, they are all talking about the match that is coming. It is one of the biggest clubs in Europe. And then I join a stable team which works very well, which was a finalist in the Champions League, which has great players. My choice is linked to all that, in fact.” Marcus Thuram in no way regrets his departure to Inter, which he preferred to PSG despite the arrival of certain compatriots such as Dembélé or Kolo Muani: “If I want to see them, I go on vacation with them (smile). My career responds to a logic of evolution. I’m not going to define a career choice based on my friends.”. In the meantime, the accomplished performances of the former EAG striker please his coach and the marriage seems perfect between the son of Lilian Thuram and the Nerazzurri.
