Aston Villa are plotting a summer move for Marcus Thuram, with Newcastle United also monitoring the Inter Milan forward, as per Caught Offside.
The 28-year-old French international has been in fine form in Italy, playing a key role in Inter’s push for silverware, and is now attracting interest from the Premier League.
Villa are keen to strengthen their frontline as they continue their push for consistent European football under Unai Emery.
With Ollie Watkins struggling for consistency this season, Thuram has emerged as a reliable option who could add goals, physicality, and versatility to the attack.
Meanwhile, Newcastle are also in the market for attacking reinforcements amid uncertainty surrounding the futures of players like Yoane Wissa and Nick Woltemade.
The Magpies are looking to improve depth and quality in the final third, with Thuram seen as a player capable of making an immediate impact.
Thuram, who has earned over 30 caps for France national football team, is entering the peak years of his career and could be open to a new challenge in England.
His blend of strength, pace, and technical ability makes him well-suited to the demands of the Premier League.
Despite the growing interest, Inter Milan are expected to be reluctant to part ways with one of their key attacking assets as they aim to remain competitive on all fronts.
However, with the summer transfer window approaching, it remains to be seen whether Villa or Newcastle can tempt the Italian giants into negotiations.
