FC Barcelona prepares for the post-opening Robert Lewandowski. Looking for a new center forward to take over from the Polish striker, Marcus Thuram now tops the list of Catalan conductors, according to World Sports.

Thuram glasses with Inter Milan

A 27 years oldMarcus Thuram had an exceptional season with Inter Milan: 12 goals and 6 assists decided in 20 matches between competitions. The regularity and versatility of the Blaugrana, who has an ideal profile to energize the Catalan attack of Lewandowski, is 37 years old, in the same place.

However, the competition promises to be fierce for the French international. Arsenal, Liverpool, Tottenham and PSG are also closely monitoring the performances of Lilian Thuram’s son. In contrast with Inter until 2028Thuram could be the subject of a fierce battle in the next summer transfer window.

A future far from Italy?

Barça’s delicate financial situation could complicate such an operation, but Joan Laporta and the Catalan management remain determined to strengthen their attack for the coming seasons. Thuram, thanks to his speed, his power and his efficiency in front of goal, represents a credible option to replace a Lewandowski who is still prolific (23 goals this season), but whose career is approaching its twilight.
