I brought him in for free, and his performance exceeded my expectations.

The performance exceeded expectations. Marcus Thuram, who is also the son of French legend Lilian Thuram, has been linked with many clubs and transfer rumors this summer.

In addition, he is a striker with decent ability, having played in 134 games for Mönchengladbach, scoring 44 goals and providing 29 assists.
Although he was linked to AC Milan and Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), the final destination was Inter Milan, which offered better conditions. According to local media, Thuram wanted a team that would guarantee him many playing opportunities, and as a result, he reportedly refused to move to PSG.
Inter Milan, who signed Thuram for free, are smiling brightly. Thuram has played in 9 games in all competitions this season, scoring 3 goals and 6 assists.
