Borussia Monchengladbach have confirmed that in-demand forward Marcus Thuram will be leaving the club when his contract expires in the summer.
Thuram, who is the son of legendary defender Lilian Thuram, has been linked with several Premier League clubs including Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool and Newcastle. Monchengladbach had been hopeful the 25-year-old would sign a new deal and remain in the Bundesliga, but he has rejected their offers and will be leaving at the end of the season along with defender Ramy Bensebaini.
"We were in open communication with both players and knew the current status," Monchengladbach's sporting director Roland Virkus announced. "It's a shame that they won't be extending their expiring contracts, because we've both given a lot in terms of sport over the past four years.
