Newcastle United will allegedly want to recruit 22-year-old German defender Malick Thiaw from Serie A club AC Milan in the summer transfer window.
According to an exclusive NUFC Blog story, Newcastle United is interested in Malick Thiaw. The Magpies are searching for a centre-back ahead of the summer transfer window. And they are interested in signing the 22-year-old defender from Serie A club AC Milan.
The Malick Thiaw story
Malick Thiaw has blown hot and cold since joining AC Milan from FC Schalke 04 in August 2022. A native of Dusseldorf, he passed through the academies at TV Kalkum-Wittlaer, Fortuna Dusseldorf, Bayer Leverkusen, and Borussia Monchengladbach before landing at Schalke in 2015.
The 22-year-old spent seven years at Schalke and was one of the German club’s best performers before AC Milan came calling. Thiaw has turned out 54 times thus far for the Rossoneri, chipping in with one assist. While the youngster has been in and out of the starting lineup, his stock in the market remains high.
The German defender has been linked with several high-profile clubs across Europe, including Real Madrid. The AC Milan center-back has also been a target for many well-known Premier League outfits, including West Ham United. The most recent update suggests that a move to Newcastle United could be on the cards.
