Inter Milan have signed French forward Marcus Thuram as a free agent from Bundesliga side Borussia Monchengladbach, the Serie A club announced on Saturday.

The 25-year-old son of French World Cup winner Lilian Thuram will join the Nerazzurri on a five-year contract according to Italian media, after four seasons with Gladbach in which he scored 44 goals and provided 29 assists in 134 appearances.

Thuram has been capped 10 times for France, having made his debut in the senior team in 2020 and was part of their Euro squad that year. He played in the World Cup last year, where France finished as runners-up.

"Marcus Thuram is quick. He has always been quick to reach his goals and to overcome any hurdle in his path. To show that he is worth so much more than just the name on the back of his shirt," Inter said in a statement.

Thuram, who was born in Parma during his father's spell at the Italian club, was linked to several European clubs before signing with Inter.

Inter, who lost to Manchester City in the Champions League final last month, have already announced the departures of Milan Skriniar, Danilo D'Ambrosio and Roberto Gagliardini from the club upon the expiry of their contracts.

Lindsey Vonn fell while on pace for a podium finish at a World Cup super-G on Sunday on the course that will host skiing at next year’s Milan-Cortina Olympics.

She went down on her left hip coming around a gate midway down but appeared to avoid injury. Then the American slid down the course and came to a stop far away from the safety netting.

Vonn quickly got up and skied down to the finish area and waved to the crowd.

It was her second fall in four days after also avoiding injury during a crash in downhill training on Thursday.

Home favorite Federica Brignone was leading the race from Lara Gut-Behrami by 0.58 seconds, with Corinne Suter in third, 1.08 behind.

Results were not official yet because lower-ranked skiers were still coming down.

Vonn, who holds the record with 12 wins in Cortina, returned to the circuit last month at age 40 with a new titanium knee after nearly six years of retirement.

Vonn told The Associated Press on Thursday that she plans to retire again after next year’s Olympics, when women’s skiing will be held in Cortina and men’s races in Bormio.
