Marcus Thuram
Marcus Thuram is increasingly open to a Premier League move this summer, with Inter Milan considering whether to cash in and Aston Villa and Newcastle United positioning themselves to act.
Despite a dip in form, the French forward remains highly regarded, and Inter’s ability to register a full profit on any sale has sharpened interest ahead of the transfer window.
The French forward is going through a difficult period at Inter Milan, struggling to reach his usual level of consistency. That’s despite Lautaro Martinez’s absence handing him the spotlight.
With only one goal in more than two months, Thuram’s form has noticeably dipped. And that’s led to talk of a possible exit.
Premier League interest: Aston Villa and Newcastle step forward
Despite reported interest from Saudi Arabia, Marcus Thuram is understood to prefer a move to the Premier League according to FC Inter News.
Two English clubs have already positioned themselves:
Aston Villa, who view Thuram as a high-level addition as they push to establish themselves in the Champions League.
Newcastle United, long-term admirers of Thuram, believe this summer could present the right opportunity to act.
Both clubs have expressed their interest directly to Thuram’s camp, sensing an opportunity as Inter Milan weigh up their options.

Inter Milan’s stance: Marcus Thuram profit
Marcus Thuram
Inter would only consider a sale if a significant offer arrives. Having signed Marcus Thuram on a free transfer, Inter Milan would register any sale as pure profit.
That’s a major factor as the club look to reinvest in a new striker with different characteristics.
Arsenal were linked around a year ago, but nothing came from that.
For now, Thuram remains focused on finishing the season strongly, with the World Cup also on the horizon.
But once the tournament ends, he will evaluate his future. His preference is clear on that front, England over Saudi Arabia.
From Inter’s perspective, the summer window may be the ideal moment to maximise the striker’s value. From Aston Villa and Newcastle’s perspective, the door is open. Whether either club turns that interest into a concrete bid in the coming months remains to be seen.
