Report: Juventus want to replace Di Maria with Marcus Thuram

With an expiring contract and a mounting injury history, Ángel Di María could end his spell at Juventus at the end of the season.

The Argentine insisted on signing a one-year contract last summer while reiterating his desire to end his playing career at his original club, Rosario Central.

It therefore appears that Juventus are destined to sign a replacement for the winger this summer.

According to Tuttosport via JuventusNews24, Juventus hope to replace Di Maria with Marcus Thuram, who is running on an expiring contract at Borussia Monchengladbach.

The versatile striker has been plying his trade in Germany since 2019 and is currently enjoying a spectacular season, contributing 10 goals and three assists in his 15 Bundesliga appearances.

The report warns that Bayern Munich are the favorites to reach an agreement with the 25-year-old who will become a free agent at the end of the season, while Inter hope to anticipate the competition by offering their club a fee of transfer in January. .

So it won’t be an easy mission for Juventus by any means, but perhaps they are holding a favor from Marcus’s father, Lilian Thuram, who represented the Bianconeri between 2001 and 2006.

The 25-year-old can play as a center forward or on the wings. He is currently a member of Didier Deschamps’ France squad.

Les Bleus will play England tonight in the World Cup quarter-finals, and Juventus will keep an eye on Thuram should he come onto the field, most likely as a substitute.
