During the 2019/2020 season, when Borussia Mönchengladbach had recruited Marcus Thuram for 9 M€, the German club was rubbing its hands. For his first year in Germany, the former resident of Guingamp stood out by scoring 10 goals and delivering 8 assists in 32 Bundesliga matches.
The following season was also good in terms of statistics (11 goals, 12 assists in 40 matches in all competitions), even if his sad case of spitting (he spat on an opponent in December 2020 during a match against Hoffenheim ) had tainted his exercise. The following summer, he thought he had changed his tune when Inter and especially Tottenham came knocking on his door. In vain.
Gladbach have already targeted their replacement
Since then, Thuram’s rating in Gladbach has crumbled. And not just a little. This season, the Frenchman’s record is terrible: 14 matches, 0 goals, 0 assists, in all competitions. And according to image, his club would seek to make him leave by next Monday! And in its edition of the day, the portrait of the day drawn up by the German daily is not very flattering.
Mercenary attitude, no effort at the loss of the ball, egocentric: Marcu Thuram takes it seriously for his rank. Under contract until 2023, the son of the 98 world champion has therefore become persona non grata. Especially since Gladbach has already targeted a replacement in the event of the departure of his player. This is the striker of Union Saint-Gilloise (Belgian D1), Deniz Undav. The 21-year-old German scored 34 goals in two seasons in the Jupiler League.
