Report – Aston Villa & Newcastle United Preparing Summer Bids For Inter Milan & France Megastar | OneFootball

Newcastle United and Aston Villa could battle it out to secure the signature of Inter Milan star Marcus Thuram this summer.

According to FCInterNews, the Premier League giants could engage in a bidding war to lure the Frenchman away from San Siro.

Marcus Thuram has experienced his worst season since joining the Nerazzurri in 2023, scoring just seven goals in 22 Serie A games.

Therefore, he appears to have lost his ‘non-transferable’ status, with Inter reportedly open to selling the 28-year-old in the summer.

However, Cristian Chivu’s side can hardly expect anyone to match Thuram’s eye-watering €85 million release clause.

Aston Villa & Newcastle United Vying for Inter Milan Striker Marcus Thuram

Despite drawing inquiries from Saudi Arabia, the French center-forward could continue his career in the Premier League.

Indeed, Aston Villa and Newcastle United have set their sights on the former Borussia Monchengladbach star.

Villa could part ways with Ollie Watkins at the end of the season. Therefore, Unai Emery must sign a top striker to replace the English ace.

Meanwhile, the Magpies are looking to add to their attacking options after Yoane Wissa failed to settle at St James’ Park.

Furthermore, both clubs have the financial resources to meet Thuram’s hefty price tag, making a summer bidding battle increasingly likely.
