AC Milan and Inter Milan are reportedly set to battle it out for the signing of French striker Marcus Thuram, according to Italian newspaper La Gazzetta dello Sport. The Rossoneri are in need of a new striker, as Zlatan Ibrahimovic could retire at the end of the season and Divock Origi has yet to impress since arriving on loan from Liverpool. Thuram has been in excellent form for Borussia Mönchengladbach, scoring 13 goals and providing 4 assists in all competitions this season.
The two Milanese clubs are not the only ones interested in the 25-year-old, however, as Barcelona are said to be the front-runners for his signature. Bayern Munich and Atlético Madrid are also reportedly monitoring Thuram's situation, which could lead to a bidding war for his services. With Thuram's potential and impressive stats, he would be a valuable asset for any club looking to bolster their attacking options.
AC Milan and Inter Milan are no strangers to fierce competition on the pitch, and it appears that they are ready to extend this rivalry off the pitch. The battle for Marcus Thuram's signature is sure to be intense, with each club eager to strengthen their squad. As the race for Thuram heats up, it will be interesting to see which club comes out on top in the end.
