BREAKING! Club Chief Deal Reached With AC Milan For Malick Thiaw, Not Interested In Newcastle United
In a significant transfer twist, reliable sources have confirmed that a club chief has reached an agreement with AC Milan for the signature of German defender Malick Thiaw. The highly-rated 23-year-old centre-back, who has been on the radar of several European giants, is set to make a move — but crucially, Newcastle United will not be his destination.
Reports indicate that negotiations between AC Milan and the unnamed club advanced quickly over the past week, with both parties agreeing to a deal believed to be worth around €20 million, including potential add-ons. Thiaw, who joined Milan from Schalke in 2022, has developed into one of Serie A’s most promising defenders, impressing with his physical presence, composure on the ball, and aerial dominance.
Newcastle United had been linked to the player earlier in the transfer window, with manager Eddie Howe reportedly keen to strengthen his defensive options. However, sources close to the player have stated that Thiaw had no interest in a move to Tyneside, preferring a club that aligns more closely with his career ambitions and style of play.
This deal, once finalized, is expected to send ripples through the transfer market as Newcastle will now need to pivot to other defensive targets. For Thiaw, it marks the next step in a promising career, as he prepares to join a new challenge with high expectations and a fresh environment.
