Thuram close to joining Paris Saint-Germain

French newspaper Le Parisien claims that Barcelona central defender and French international Lilian Thuram (36) is a priority of French club Paris Saint-Germain, who wants the French national team captain to become the key figure of their new project (read more here).


After a terrible season, the French club thinks that the signing of Thuram could bring some calm inside and outside the club.
