Thuram: The Gem That Could Have Been a Colchonero
Atlético de Madrid was close to acquiring Marcus Thuram, the Inter striker who is dazzling in Europe and recently played in the Champions League final. The Rojiblanca management, led by Andrea Berta, showed strong interest in the French international during several transfer windows, especially during his time at Borussia Mönchengladbach.
In the winter market of 2023, Atlético seriously considered his signing, but no financial agreement was reached. The intention was to wait for his contract to end to incorporate him for free in the summer.
Even Antoine Griezmann, a key figure in the team, tried to convince Thuram to join the Colchonero project. However, Inter Milan stepped in and managed to sign Thuram, offering a signing bonus that exceeded 10 million euros, according to Italian media.
His outstanding performance in the Champions League has confirmed Inter’s success in incorporating him. Beyond his 18 goals this season, Thuram stands out for his tireless work on the field, his imposing aerial game and his overall quality. Characteristics that make him a valuable player and that could have shone with the Rojiblanca shirt at the Metropolitano.
