Inter Milan GM Beppe Marotta has cheekily confirmed Marcus Thuram is signing for the club.

The Borussia Monchengladbach striker is joining Inter this week as his contract runs down.

The France international has agreed terms with Inter in the last 24 hours and the deal will be completed on July 1.

Speaking to reporters present outside the headquarters in Viale della Liberazione yesterday, Marotta confirmed the agreement.

He smiled: "Satisfied with the operation? Certainly yes..."
