JAKARTA - Two Italian Serie A clubs, Inter Milan and Juventus, have compactly recruited children from football legends.

Inter Milan managed to recruit French national team striker, Marcus Thuram, who is the son of Lilian Thuram. The player was recruited on a free transfer.

Thuram signed a five-year contract with last season's Champions League finalists with a value of 6.5 million euros (around Rp106 billion) per season.

"Marcus Thuram joins Inter," Inter wrote on their official website quoted from AFP, Saturday, July 1.

The 25-year-old forward joined the Nerazzurri after four seasons with Borussia Moenchengladbach. Marcus scored 13 goals with his old club in the Bundesliga for the 2022/2023 season.

Meanwhile Juventus brought in a winger from the United States (US), Timothy Weah, son of George Weah. He moved from French club Lille.

Weah already underwent a medical with Juventus earlier this week and the transfer was announced by Juventus today.

"Timothy Weah has officially become a Juventus player. She has joined permanently from Lille," Juventus wrote in a statement on the club's official website, as quoted by Antara.

Juventus made up for 10.3 million euros (around Rp169 billion), and other additional costs of a maximum of 1 million euros (around Rp16.4 billion) and potential bonuses of 2.1 million euros (around Rp34.4 billion).

Timothy signed a contract until June 30, 2028 and will certainly fill the position of Juan Cuadrado whose contract expired last month.

He became one of Lille's important players when he won the 2020-21 French League. His performance made him called up to the US national team calling him since 2018 and now he has recorded 31 appearances and participated in the 2022 World Cup.
