He reviews his matches on video, has embraced the Nerazzurri style, and forms a perfect partnership with Lautaro: this is the formula behind Marcus’s soaring success..
From zero to 70 in just three and a half months: Marcus is growing up splendidly in the city of Milan. Inter has struck gold. On the field, the kid is a spectacle of beauty and elegance. Thuram is now valued at €70 million.
Piero Ausilio, Inter’s sporting director had pursued him for two years after having seen him as a pure striker and not a winger. Beppe Marotta, then, in late June, gave the green light an accelerated deal with a final salary raise. Another masterpiece by Marotta who adds to his rich collection of players signed for 0. These are players acquired on a free transfer not due to an old age, but snatched from competition with a high-level technical project, thanks to offering a top-tier salary.
Numbers tell a compelling story. Marcus has fully embraced Inter, referencing past greats and current teammates in his celebrations. From mimicking Icardi’s iconic ear-covering gesture to swirling his shirt like Adriano, and even imitating Lukaku’s rifle celebration. He has taken over the Inter world completely and is already a fan-favorite
Not just himself, Thuram also elevates those around him. With 6 assists so far, he leads the whole Serie A. On the other hand Lautaro has already scored 15 goals, matching his last season tally already in December. This is his best start in his career and playing with Thuram is a significant boost.
But Thuram knows this is not it, there is more to be done and achieved. Perhaps this is why he reviews every game with his father Lilian and Inzaghi’s staff – It’s this dedication that swiftly propels his value to 70 million.
It’s a sweet revenge against big clubs that hesitated to invest on him – a nod to Bayern and PSG and especially Milan who lost him to the ‘Nerazzurri’ after having reached a preliminary agreement with the player.
