Barcelona and Manchester City are reportedly preparing to battle Liverpool for the signature of Borussia Monchengladbach attacker Marcus Thuram during next summer's transfer window.

The 23-year-old has been in impressive form for his German club during the 2020-21 campaign, scoring three times and contributing five assists in 10 appearances in all competitions.

A recent report claimed that Liverpool were interested in signing the attacker, who is the son of World Cup winner and France legend Lilian Thuram.

However, according to Bild, both Barca and Man City are also in the hunt for a player who has two goals and two assists in three Champions League outings this season.

Thuram, who has earned a call up to the France squad for the nation's upcoming matches against Finland, Portugal and Sweden, is contracted to Gladbach until June 2023.

The former Sochaux youngster has scored 17 times and registered 14 assists in 49 outings for his current club.



Barcelona, Real Madrid 'keeping an eye on Michael Olise'

Reading youngster Michael Olise is reportedly being tracked by Barcelona and Real Madrid.

The 18-year-old, who has scored twice and registered three assists in 11 appearances for his Championship club this season, is believed to be a target for the likes of Liverpool, Chelsea and Arsenal.

However, according to reports in Spain, Barca and Madrid 'love' the versatile attacker, who will seemingly have the pick of a number of teams in 2021.

Olise's existing deal is due to expire in June 2022, and a recent report claimed that there is currently an £8m release clause in the Frenchman's contract.

The teenager spent time with Chelsea and Man City during his youth career before joining Reading, ultimately signing a professional contract with the Royals in July 2019.

Olise has scored twice and registered five assists in 38 first-team appearances for his English club.
