Alessandro Altobelli, former Inter striker, expressed his admiration for MarcusThuram during an interview with Gazzetta dello Sport. According to the former player, the Frenchman is a classic number 9 who, if inserted into any Italian team, would immediately be a starter.
Altobelli highlighted Thuram's good relationship with his teammates and his ability to always be on the pitch, while acknowledging the difficulties associated with the intense schedule. The player, who currently plays in CristianChivu's team, is described as a strong and versatile attacker, ready to make a difference for both club and national team.
The former Inter player also highlighted the importance of Thuram for the French national team, citing the possibility of a more solid role after the World Cup in which he had few appearances. He added that, as 2028 approaches, when the player's contract expires, Inter cannot afford to lose him. According to Altobelli, BeppeMarotta, the coach, is already working on the renewal to keep the talent at the club.
In summary, Altobelli believes that MarcusThuram is a valuable striker who deserves space at both club and national level, and warns Inter that they cannot let him go. The next phase for the player will be the renewal negotiation, which must take place before the contract expires in 2028.
