Before the Milan Derby, the famous reporter Di Marzio accepted an interview with Italian Sky and talked about the story of Thuram and Milan.

He said: "Junior Thuram was paid attention to by Milan before joining Inter Milan? Of course Thuram is very close to Milan. He has communicated with Pioli many times. The final decision was due to Inter Milan's persistence and their early actions 2 or 3 years ago. At that time, Thuram was very close to Milan. Thuram is still playing for Borussia. "In the beginning, Inter Milan originally wanted Thuram to play as a winger, but it failed due to injury. However, in the end, Thuram chose Inter Milan because Inter Milan took action for him earlier than other clubs."
