Liverpool Told To Pay €100 Million For Inter Milan Star: Should They Pay The Amount? | OneFootball

The 2024/25 season is nearing its climax, but Liverpool have been at the forefront in the Premier League with their performances in the league this season. That has also sparked excitement among the Reds’ fans for the upcoming summer transfer window. The Reds under Arne Slot are now the favorites to win the Premier League this season.

However, there are quite a few areas to ponder for Slot in his unit. Mohamed Salah’s contract was set to end after this season, and he might be on the move. Therefore, speculations had risen over his replacement since he has been one of the most important players for the club during his tenure. Fans might have been keeping a watch on all the rumors and news concerning the Egyptian’s future and the players that Liverpool might target in the summer.

Liverpool Told To Pay €100 Million For Marcus Thuram

Fichajes has reported that the Reds are interested in signing Marcus Thuram from Inter Milan in the summer. The 27-year-old French attacker has been one of the most important parts of their attacking unit since he arrived at the club in 2023. Thuram has already scored 17 goals and provided nine assists in the 44 matches that he has played so far this season. However, he has suffered an injury recently, which has called into question his future at the club.

Arne Slot is reportedly very happy with his profile and values the physical attributes, and the other qualities that he brings on the table. ESPN has already reported that Salah is set to sign a two-year contract extension at Anfield, but the manager is dissatisfied with the performance of Darwin Nunez. Hence, he wants more attacking reinforcements. Luis Diaz and Diogo Jota might also depart in the summer. Simone Inzaghi does not want to lose one of his most important players and are set to demand €100 million for his sale. With three years left on his contract, Inter are reluctant to let him go. This has set the stage for a challenging negotiation as Liverpool weigh a hefty investment.

Should the Reds pay that amount?

The move of the Frenchman to Liverpool is ambitious but lacks certainty. There is no doubt that he has a tremendous quality to shine under Arne Slot at Liverpool. However, the price tag is a major obstacle for the club, as is the track record of his injuries. The Reds need a player who can score goals consistently, and Thuram can very well do that. Liverpool should negotiate hard or consider younger, cost-effective options.
