Arsenal and Chelsea have been handed a huge boost towards signing Marcus Thuram. Borussia Monchengladbach have confirmed that the 25-year-old will leave once his contract expires in the summer.
He's been heavily linked with several clubs in the Premier League following his impressive performances for France at the World Cup in Qatar, including Manchester United, Liverpool and Newcastle. Monchengladbach were hopeful that Thuram would sign a new deal, but the forward has rejected various offers and will become a free agent at the end of the season.
"We were in open communication with both players and knew the current status," said Roland Virkus in an official club statement. "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.
