This week, Bild announced that Bayern Munich had their eye on Marcus Thuram. While Uli Hoeness estimated that Bayern lacked a “number nine” since the departure of Robert Lewandowski from FC Barcelona, Lilian’s son would be on the shelves of the Bavarian giant according to the German daily, generally well informed on Bayern. And that does not surprise many people on the other side of the Rhine given its start to the season. Because the French international (4 selections) continues to shine.
Saturday, the former striker of Guingamp and Sochaux has further watered his mill. With two new goals, he allowed Borussia Mönchengladbach to take two points on the lawn of Wolfsburg (2-2). This double is in line with his last outings. Scorer in his last three matches in the league, he already has 7 goals in 10 Bundesliga days. And we must not forget this total snoring his two assists or his three achievements in the German Cup during the demonstration against Oberachern (1-9).

If you give him space…
His disjointed 2021-2022 exercise (3 goals in 21 Bundesliga matches) marked by physical glitches and low confidence, seems a long way off today. At the age of 25 and while he has only been playing at the forefront this season since Breel Embolo left for Monaco, the eldest of the Thuram siblings has resumed his march forward in a sensational way. And of course it does not go unnoticed. “He is a world class strikergreeted this Saturday on Sky Marcel Schäfer, the sporting director of Wolfsburg. If you give him space, he’s hard to stop“. “He is an exceptional player. World class“, abounds his trainer Daniel Farke, taken up by Bild.
Returning refreshed from his summer, Marcus Thuram is back on the right track. Sharp, confident and clinical, the native of Parma shows his best face to establish himself as the spearhead of the Fohlen attack. And if he necessarily has the World Cup in the back of his mind, even if his last selection dates back to the round of 16 of Euro 2020 (France-Switzerland), he knows that Didier Deschamps has always appreciated his profile. His thunderous start to the season could allow him to return to his coach’s little papers at the last moment. Of course, he is starting from afar at the moment, having missed the last rallies. But this season disrupted by the World Cup has learned to be cautious and not to close any doors, while there are still a few weeks before the announcement of the list.
If the World Cup must obviously make him salivate and can still raise his rating, Thuram knows that this start to the season cannon will also serve him, and perhaps above all, for other purposes. At the end of the season, the former Sochalien will be out of contract. June 30 to be exact. And if the offers did not make him dream last summer, they should be more attractive this winter and next summer. Between his status as a free player and his performance, big names will activate on his case. It’s a certainty. Especially if he maintains this cruising speed.
