Marcus Thuram is one of the heavily linked players in the January transfer window, as his contract with Borussia Monchengladbach ends in the summer. The French forward is free to join any club, as there’s no indication that he will renew with the German Bundesliga side.

Thuram was outstanding last season, becoming one of the best players in the German Bundesliga with Monchengladbach. He went on to round up the year with an exceptional performance with the French team at the World Cup in Qatar.

According to statistics, the 25-year-old scored sixteen goals for the calendar year of 2022. As per Fichajes, these four teams are in the race to sign him.

The four teams that want to sign Marcus Thuram

Newcastle United

The magpies want to strengthen their forward position and create room for squad rotation. The Frenchman fits into the style of head coach Eddie Howe.

Right now, Newcastle United are searching for a striker that can score goals for the club consistently.

Real Madrid

Although Real Madrid may not necessarily push for the signing of the Frenchman, he is still an option up front. Karim Benzema is available, and Endrick Felipe will only join the club in 2024. So the Los Blancos want to have a player they can rely upon.
