Inter Eager to Take Away Superstar’s Release Clause

Marcus Thuram returned to the stat sheet after a while in the first leg of the Champions League Round of 16 versus Feyenoord, as he has been affected by an ankle sprain as of late, and he’ll likely be managed as Inter will take on Monza on Saturday.

According to TuttoSport, the Nerazzurri would like to remove the threat posed by his €85M release clause. It is dangerously close to his market value given his tremendous season and growth since he has moved to San Siro. PSG are particularly keen on him.

Inter would have to bring the salary of Thuram close to Lautaro Martinez’s to achieve their goal. The Frenchman currently makes €6M annually. He ranks third within his side behind also Nicolò Barella and Hakan Calhanoglu. The Argentine tops the chart with his €9M wages.

The Scudetto winners would have to make an effort, but their relatively new owners, Oaktree, has been lenient when it comes to contract renewals. They have greenlighted pay raises for El Toro, the Azzurri star, and coach Simone Inzaghi.

The 27-year-old declared that he would never depart without involving his present team despite the release clause. He has put up 15 goals and 4 assists this campaign.

Our Take on Inter and Thuram

They need to get it done sooner rather than later. They are in a better spot after years where they routinely had to cash in on someone to have funds. They don’t have many renewals on the docket, although they might have to revise Inzaghi’s contract, so they could indeed splurge for this one.
