Man Utd and Chelsea dealt transfer blow as ‘Barcelona enter race to sign France star Marcus Thuram for FREE’

BARCELONA have reportedly entered the race to sign Borussia Monchengladbach star Marcus Thuram on a free transfer.

The French international has a lot of interest heading into the summer as his contract with the Bundesliga side is set to expire.

The striker has admirers from the Premier League with Man United, Chelsea and Arsenal all linked with moves for him.

However, they have been dealt a blow in their hopes to land his signature as Barcelona have interested in signing him, according to fichajes.

The report suggests that the 25-year-old could arrive as a replacement for Ansu Fati or Ferran Torres.

Barcelona could be tempted to cash in on one of them in order to alleviate their financial struggles.

The club are currently dealing with an implied transfer ban which would make registering new players difficult.

Thuram also has ties to Barcelona as his father played for the club between 2006 and 2008.

The forward has been in great form this season for Monchengladbach.

He has scored 14 goals and provided four assists in 24 appearances in all competitions.

He is currently the joint-fourth top scorer in the Bundesliga, behind only Vincento Grifo, Christopher Nkunku and Niclas Fullkrug.

Thuram also made five appearances in the World Cup in Qatar for France.
