Inter striker Marcus Thuram sees a future for himself in America. The French forward said he would “love to work with American TV” and sees himself doing in the future what former French striker Thierry Henry “does with CBS.” Thuram, who joined the Italian giants in the summer of 2023, sat down with him La Gazzetta dello Sport and spoke about his time at Inter, but also his plans for the future.
Thuram, 27, has a special friendship with Henry, who played with Thuram’s father Lilian, and this comes up several times during interviews with CBS Sports Golazo. Thuram, asked by La Gazzetta where he sees himself in fifteen years, replied: “I would like to do what Titì does, with CBS. I would like to work with an American TV, it is much more relaxed. Here in Italy or in France We take ourselves too seriously. Anyway, I’d like to live in the US.”
Thuram joined Inter as a free agent last season and has since won the Serie A title alongside Argentine striker Lautaro Martinez, creating one of the best attacks in Europe. This season, Thuram has already scored twelve goals in seventeen Serie A matches and is currently the tournament’s top scorer alongside Atalanta’s Mateo Retegui.
When Inter signed Thuram, the parties agreed to include an 85 million release clause in the contract, but the French striker made it clear what he wants to do. “I will never leave Inter with the release clause, because of the relationship I have with everyone here. The clause is there, but I will not decide for myself.”
