Marcus Thuram, a French striker who is reportedly a target for Manchester United, has notified PSG that he will not be committing his future to them, which is a significant win for the Red Devils.
Thuram revealed his plans to leave Borussia Mönchengladbach and sign with another team last month.
United reportedly wants to hire him after trying to sign him in January.
Thuram’s availability means that Erik ten Hag, who is on a restricted budget, has him as an option as he continues to look for a striker.
The Peoples Person reported on a story that said AC Milan was close to signing the 25-year-old.
L’Équipe claims that the goal scorer has informed PSG, who are also fans of the player, that he will not be moving to the Parc des Princes.
Thuram will unquestionably not sign with the Ligue 1 winners, according to L’Équipe. This afternoon, Thuram’s camp expressed its choice.

The Daily Mail reported earlier today that AC Milan are in the lead in the fight to sign Thuram.
Milan are currently in the driver’s seat to capture his services for the following season, according to the source.
“RB Leipzig has also expressed interest in the possibility that the attacker will decide to remain in Germany.”
Several Premier League teams, including Manchester United, Liverpool, and Chelsea, have expressed interest in hiring Thuram.
A signing-on fee in excess of £8.6 million and earnings of almost £82,000 per week have been provided by Milan to the Frenchman.
In light of the fact that United wouldn’t have to pay a transfer fee for Thuram, this would be a wise move. In 30 Bundesliga games for Mönchengladbach last year, he managed to score 13 goals. In addition, he received six assists.
