Newcastle and Chelsea are among the other English clubs to have shown interest in the left-sided forward.
Thuram, 25, is the son of legendary France defender Lilian, 51, who was part of a formidable Juventus side in his heyday.
And now Spurs have emerged as a possible destination for the nine-cap star.
With Son Heung-min turning 31 in July and Arnaut Danjuma, 26, only in on loan from Villarreal, the North London club are keen to bolster their attacking options.
Gladbach sporting director Roland Virkus German news outlet Sport1: “With Marcus Thuram, we stretched.
“But we’ve decided to allow Thuram to leave.
“The fact he will leave on a free is not a positive situation.
“I can’t sugarcoat it – we have to accept that there are bigger clubs he might move to.”
