Aston Villa manager Unai Emery is anticipating financial support during the transfer window to help support his team and increase their rank. The fact that they have been associated with a move for Thuram is not surprising.
The forward has had 21 goal involvements since the beginning of last season and could allegedly leave in January despite having a good experience in Borussia Monchengladbach according to journalist Fabrizio Romano's House of Champions YouTube channel.
He said: “For Marcus Thuram, it’s a big opportunity because I’m told he’s not going to extend his contract with Borussia Monchengladbach. He has a new agent; he decided to change in August, so the plan is pretty clear – he wants to change and to try new opportunities.
“It’s true that Bayern [Munich] are tracking him, but at the moment, there are no advanced negotiations with the player. And in Italy, it’s true that Inter are really appreciating him.
“I mentioned that Marcus Thuram was one of the priority targets for Inter before the injury, then he got the injury and so the deal collapsed between Inter and Borussia Monchengladbach, so they are still keeping an eye on Marcus Thuram.
“I think Marcus Thuram has a chance to leave in January or in the summer as a free agent and in that case of a January move €10m are needed – this is the price tag from Borussia Monchengladbach for Marcus Thuram.”
According to This is Futbol purchasing the player would signify the club's determination to enter the European spots. However, getting ahold of Thuram will be difficult as he is a well-known player and will be able to pick clubs for himself in the summer. However, he surely will not miss out on the opportunity to lay in the Premier League and work with Emery, who has an impressive winning streak.
