Transfer Rumors: Liverpool and PSG Eye Marcus Thuram, Barcelona Consider Rafael Leão
As the January transfer window looms on the horizon, the football world is abuzz with speculation and anticipation. Among the most intriguing stories is the interest from Liverpool and Paris Saint-Germain in Internazionale‘s forward, Marcus Thuram. The 27-year-old French international has caught the eye of these European giants, and it’s easy to see why. With an €85 million release clause, Thuram is considered a valuable asset, yet he has publicly stated he wouldn’t exploit this clause to force a move.
Meanwhile, Barcelona are reportedly weighing their options as they look to bolster their squad with a new winger. The Catalan club is considering a move for AC Milan‘s Rafael Leão. However, the Portuguese international’s valuation of €75 million presents a significant hurdle, and there are internal debates within the club about the 25-year-old’s fit. A January transfer seems off the table, giving Barcelona time to deliberate.
