Liverpool Leading Race to Sign Inter Milan Striker Marcus Thuram
Liverpool are currently sitting top of the Premier League and the UEFA Champions League under new boss Arne Slot. However their lead at the top of the English top flight was cut to just seven points this week after a dramatic 3-3 draw against Newcastle United at St James Park.
The match saw Mohamed Salah score in the 83rd minute to make it 3-2 but Fabian Schar had the last laugh as he scored in the 90th minute to draw the Magpies level. During the match Liverpool star Darwin Nunez was heavily criticised after missing a couple of big chances.
As a result it has now emerged that Liverpool could be targeting a new striker. According to Italian news outlet Calcio Mercato Liverpool are leading the race to sign Inter Milan striker Marcus Thuram. The Frenchman has been linked with a host of different clubs around the continent after scoring nine goals in 13 matches in Serie A.
Thuram’s impressive form has caught the attention of several top clubs and it remains to be seen whether Liverpool can secure his signature. Inter Milan are reportedly ready to let Thuram leave only if his £70 million release clause is triggered.
However it is rare that Liverpool spend such a big fee on someone aged 27 or over. Thuram’s age and release clause may prove to be a stumbling block for Liverpool’s pursuit of the striker. Despite this Liverpool are reportedly leading the race to sign Thuram.
Thuram has spoken highly of the San Siro stadium where he plays his home matches for Inter Milan. Speaking last month after France’s 3-1 win over Italy at the San Siro Thuram declared his love for the iconic stadium. He said I love this stadium I love San Siro.
The match against Italy was strange for me Thuram added. I played against my brothers which was very strange but I love all of them and I was happy to cross paths with them. Thuram’s comments highlight his affection for the San Siro and his experience playing at the iconic stadium.
Liverpool will be back in Premier League action this weekend when they take on Everton at Goodison Park. The match will provide Liverpool with an opportunity to bounce back from their draw against Newcastle United and maintain their lead at the top of the Premier League.
