Inter Milan have performed a dramatic transfer u-turn on Marcus Thuram, and are now determined to keep the France forward after his stunning run of form has silenced talk of a summer exit.
According to Il Giornale, via FCInterNews, Inter are fully aware of Thuram’s value and will do everything possible to retain him.
Regardless of the impressive emergence of Francesco Pio Esposito as an alternative option up front.
Four goals across the Roma, Como and Cagliari matches have ended the debate around the former Borussia Monchengladbach striker.

Indeed, his performances have directly silenced those who were calling for his sale this summer in the face of offers of €50 million or more.
Furthermore, Thuram has demonstrated his irreplaceable quality at the most critical moment of the season, carrying Inter’s attack on his shoulders while Lautaro Martinez remains sidelined through injury.
Therefore, the decision from Viale della Liberazione is clear. Thuram stays.
The question now shifts to the terms of any renewal.
His current contract runs to 2028.
However, Inter want to reward his loyalty and form with an improved deal that also removes any lingering transfer speculation.
Newcastle United and other Premier League clubs have registered interest in recent months. Inter have no intention of entertaining those approaches any further.
