Marcus Thuram’s Release Clause at Inter Set to Expire

Marcus Thuram’s 75 million euro release clause in his Inter Milan contract expires at midnight. This changes things for any club interested in signing him this summer.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Inter Milan put an 75 million euro release clause in Thuram’s contract when he joined in 2023. This means any team could sign Thuram by paying that amount without negotiating with Inter. However, this clause is set to expire soon, leaving Inter with full control over Thuram’s future. Any club interested in him after tonight must negotiate directly with Inter for a transfer fee, instead of utilizing the clause.

WHY THIS MATTERS FOR INTER AND THURAM

Thuram is considered a key player for Inter, despite recent injuries. He had a strong start in Milan and has impressed the team with his skills and versatility. Inter was concerned about the possibility of losing him to bigger offers because of the clause, given that other top clubs are interested in him. The expiration of this clause reinforces Inter’s position, making a summer exit less likely unless a substantial offer materializes.

LOOKING AHEAD: INTER’S PLANS AND UPCOMING FIXTURES

Inter finished second in the Serie A title in the 2024/25 season, beating Juventus and Milan but behind champions Napoli. Thuram scored 11 league goals and made six assists in 32 games, significantly contributing to Inter’s title second place finish. With the clause expiring, Inter might initiate talks for a new deal for Thuram to secure his future. Inter’s next match is against Torino in the Serie A opener as the team tries to reclaim the title it won two seasons ago.

Inter Milan finished second in Serie A last season.

Both teams are looking to strengthen their squads for the new season, but keeping Thuram is a positive sign as they aim to defend their title and improve their performance in Europe next season.
