Barcelona Set Eyes On Borussia Monchengladbach Striker Marcus Thuram

Barcelona are monitoring the situation of Borussia Monchengladbach forward Marcus Thuram, reports Depredict.

The France international is out of contract at the end of the season and plenty of suitors want him.

Lilian Thuram dreams of seeing his son in the Barca colours having played for the club back in 2006.

The French forward is also on the radar of the likes of Arsenal and Atletico Madrid.

Monchengladbach have given up on trying to convince Thuram to sign a new deal.

The 25-year-old is expected to leave in the summer after turning down an extension.

Barca would love to sign such a quality player for free given their financial situation.

Thuram has scored 13 goals and claimed four assists in 19 games across all competitions this term.

He assisted two goals at the World Cup in Qatar despite making all his five appearances off the bench.

The former Guingamp star bagged 21 goals and ten assists in his first three seasons at the Bundesliga club.

Barcelona have Robert Lewandowski as their first-choice striker but they do not have a natural cover in the position.

Thuram would be a superb option for manager Xavi in the role. He is also capable of playing on the wings.

Ansu Fati has been linked with a summer exit and Barca will need to bolster their ranks.

They lost Memphis Depay to Atletico last month and their lack of quality depth in attack could be exposed.

Fati and Ferran Torres have struggled to produce the goods regularly this term.

Ousmane Dembele is currently injured while Raphinha could do with fierce and capable competition.
