A standout €60m Inter Milan attacker has entered Barcelona’s radar, with the club evaluating his profile as a key target.
With the Polish striker’s contract expiring and financial fair play demanding shrewd investments, Deco has identified a Serie A sensation whose goal-scoring prowess, physicality, and versatility align perfectly with the German coach’s high-pressing demands.
Inter Milan’s Nerazzurri fortress rarely yields stars, but shifting dynamics at San Siro have alerted the Catalan giants to a prime opportunity.
That attacker is Marcus Thuram, the 28-year-old French powerhouse whose blistering form has Inter Milan flying high in the Scudetto race.
Fichajes confirm Barcelona know Inter’s firm asking price: €60 million flat, a figure reflecting his two-year contract and pivotal role in Simone Inzaghi’s treble push.
Thuram’s 18 goals and 12 assists this season showcase his aerial dominance, explosive pace, and clinical finishing—traits that evoke a prime Zlatan Ibrahimović with added work rate, making him Lewandowski’s spiritual successor.
Thuram’s appeal transcends numbers. He bullies defenders yet drops deep to link play, thriving in Flick’s fluid front three alongside Yamal and Raphinha or Dani Olmo.
His Champions League pedigree—eliminating Barcelona last season—proves elite mettle, while his pressing stats lead Europe’s top leagues.
Deco views the €60m tag as value amid striker inflation, especially with Inter’s FFP pressures post-Teun Koopmeiners signing potentially softening negotiations.
Financial creativity unlocks the deal: Ansu Fati or Ferran Torres sales, wage tweaks, and economic levers could activate La Liga’s 1:1 rule.
Thuram reportedly welcomes a Camp Nou switch, drawn by Flick’s project and La Liga’s global stage over Saudi riches.
Competition from Arsenal and PSG looms, but Barcelona lead with agent dialogue.
Securing Thuram would ignite Flick’s dynasty—blending French flair with Catalan youth for multi-trophy contention.
At €60m, Inter’s price tests resolve but promise transformation: Lewandowski’s heir arrives not as a gamble, but proven predator.
As presidential polls favour continuity, Deco’s strike positions Barcelona for European redemption.
