Legendary former Juventus, Barcelona, and France defender is grateful for how Inter Milan have made his son Marcus feel at home.

The 1998 World Cup winner posted on his Instagram account to give his thoughts on the first season that his son has had at the Nerazzurri.

Lilian Thuram is a player who has an extremely strong connection to Serie A.

The Frenchman spent a total of ten years in the Italian top flight. Five with Parma and five with Juventus.

Given that Serie A is the league with which Thuram is most strongly associated, it is perhaps not too much of a surprise that the legendary former defender’s son would make the move to a team in Italy.

However, just as Marcus plays a different position than his father, he also joined a different team.

Inter and Juventus may be better rivals in the Derby d’Italia.

But that did not stop Marcus from choosing the Nerazzurri last summer.

Reports even indicate that Lilian played a big role in the striker’s transfer to Inter. Despite the club rivalry from his playing day, the 52-year-old advised his son that Inter would be the best move for his career.

Lilian Thuram: “Thanks Inter Milan Family”

It would be fair to say that joining Inter was the right decision for Marcus Thuram.

The 26-year-old has had a massive impact at the Nerazzurri in his first season at the club.

Marcus has fit in perfectly to the 3-5-2 system that Inter play under Simone Inzaghi. And conversely, that style of play has gotten the best out of his qualities.

And Marcus has capped off his first season at Inter with a major trophy – one which his father Lilian will be familiar with. The Serie A title.

Lilian wrote, “Thank you.”

“Every parent’s dream? To see their children happy.”

“I therefore thank the entire Nerazzurri family for the great love that they are giving to my son.”

“Children grow and take their own path,” Lilian writes. “Like all parents, I have to recognize this.”

“Sometimes this means losing it a little! Marcus, you’re brilliant! Long live football!”
