Borussia Monchengladbach Prepare Marcus Thuram Departure

Future Uncertain for Top Striker

Intense Speculation Surrounding Thuram's Next Move

Borussia Monchengladbach are bracing themselves for the departure of Marcus Thuram, with the French forward set to leave the club this summer.

Thuram has been heavily linked with a move to several top European clubs, including Manchester United and Inter Milan, and Gladbach are now resigned to losing the 25-year-old.

The German club had initially hoped to keep Thuram, who has scored 41 goals in 119 appearances for Gladbach, but they have now accepted that he wants to move on.

"Marcus has made it clear that he wants to leave the club," said Gladbach sporting director Roland Virkus. "We have tried to persuade him to stay, but we respect his decision."

Thuram's departure will be a big blow for Gladbach, who have relied heavily on his goals in recent seasons. The club is now likely to look for a replacement in the transfer market.

Thuram's future remains uncertain, but he is expected to make a decision on his next club in the coming weeks. The French international is one of the most sought-after strikers in Europe, and he is sure to have no shortage of offers.
