According to El Sport Lilian Thuram could receive an offer from Arsenal to continue playing for another year. Thuram, who is 36, was planning to retire at the end of this season, but a chance to join up again with Arsene Wenger may persuade the Frenchman to continue for another season. Wenger gave Thuram his first opportunity as a player when he gave him a debut for Monaco at the age of 17 way back in 1991. As Thuram has finished his contract with Barça he would not cost Arsenal anything.

why let him go
this would have been a good defensive coach for us
BARCA 4 LYF // May 17, 2008 at 9:00
I agree with layi he could retire and become the defense coach, like Solskjaer did at man utd he became their striker coach!!!
