Newcastle United is in advanced talks with AC Milan to sign Malick Thiaw for around €40 million. The 23-year-old German defender has reportedly agreed to the move, with negotiations in their final stages. Thiaw has been with AC Milan since 2022 and has become a key player for the Serie A side.
Newcastle United are reportedly in advanced negotiations with AC Milan to secure the services of central defender Malick Thiaw. According to football insider Fabrizio Romano, the Premier League club is pushing to finalize a summer deal for the 23-year-old German international.
Romano shared on X that discussions are progressing rapidly, with Newcastle having submitted a new bid close to a €40 million package. He noted that AC Milan and Newcastle United are in the final stages of talks following the improved proposal, with Malick Thiaw also giving the green light to the move. A "here we go" confirmation could follow soon if all proceeds as planned.
Thiaw joined AC Milan in 2022 from German club Schalke and has since emerged as a promising young centre-back in Serie A. During his time with the Rossoneri, he contributed to their Supercoppa Italiana victory in the 2024/25 season. Newcastle's pursuit underscores their ambition to bolster their defensive options ahead of the upcoming season.
