Marcus Lilian Thuram-Ulien (born 6 August 1997) is a French professional footballer who plays as a forward for Bundesliga side Borussia Mönchengladbach.[2][3] He is the son of World Cup winner Lilian Thuram.

Club career

Sochaux

Thuram started his professional career at Sochaux-Montbéliard, where he also played for the club Youth Academy. He made his Ligue 2 debut with the club on 20 March 2015 against Châteauroux replacing Edouard Butin after 83 minutes.[4] He played 43 total matches for Sochaux and scored one goal, in a 3–1 loss at Tours on 14 April 2017.[5]

Guingamp

On 5 July 2017, Thuram joined Ligue 1 club En Avant de Guingamp for an undisclosed fee.[6] In August 2018, he gained attention for playing against Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon, a long-term teammate of his father at Parma and Juventus.[7]

Thuram scored an added-time penalty on 9 January 2019 to eliminate holders PSG from the quarter-finals of the Coupe de la Ligue, having earlier missed from the spot in the 2–1 win at the Parc des Princes.[8] Twenty days later he scored the equaliser in a 2–2 home draw with Monaco in the semi-final, and his attempt in the subsequent penalty shootout was saved by Danijel Subašić though Guingamp nonetheless advanced.[9]

Borussia Mönchengladbach

On 22 July 2019, Borussia Mönchengladbach announced they had signed Thuram on a four-year deal. The transfer fee paid to Guingamp was reported as €12 million.[10] He was given the number 10 shirt, vacated by Thorgan Hazard after his move to Borussia Dortmund.

Thuram made his debut for Gladbach on 9 August in the first round of the DFB-Pokal away to 2. Bundesliga club SV Sandhausen, and scored the only goal.[11] He got his first Bundesliga goals on his fifth appearance on 22 September, scoring both of a 2–1 home win over Fortuna Düsseldorf.[12]

On 31 May 2020, Thuram scored twice in a 4–1 win over 1. FC Union Berlin. He took a knee after his first goal of the match and dedicated the strike in honour of ongoing protests in the United States following the death of George Floyd.[13]

Personal life

Thuram is the son of the former France international footballer Lilian Thuram, and the older brother of the professional footballer Khéphren Thuram.[14] He was born in the Italian city of Parma while his father played for the club, and was named after Jamaican activist Marcus Garvey.[7][15]
