Thuram, Inter renewal talks hit a snag as offer falls short
The Frenchman's deal runs until 2028 and the club's first proposal is a fixed base of 4.5-5 million plus bonuses to reach his current 6.5 million salary.
Talks over a new contract for Marcus Thuram with Inter have started, although the first steps have not been smooth, according to Tuttosport. His deal runs until 2028, and the striker is one of the best-paid players in the squad, earning 6.5 million per season plus bonuses that take him close to 8 million.
The problem is the club's plan. Under the new policy from fund Oaktree, players over 30 are to see their pay cut, which clashes with his current salary. The offer on the table is a fixed base of 4.5 to 5 million, with bonuses and benefits that could let him reach 6.5 million with relative ease.
The same kind of proposal has recently been made to other key players in the Inter squad. For now the offer does not convince, and the distance with his agent means the negotiation is expected to be long. Beppe Marotta and Dario Baccin are leading it.
