Newcastle United have reignited their pursuit of AC Milan defender Malick Thiaw, according to recent reports. The Premier League club had initially shown interest in the German center-back earlier this summer, but now appears to be intensifying their efforts to secure his signature.
Gianluca Di Marzio reports how Thiaw, a 22-year-old defender, has caught the eye of Newcastle’s new sporting director Paul Mitchell. The young talent impressed last season, making 30 appearances for the Rossoneri across all competitions and even providing an assist.
While no official offer has been submitted to the Italian club yet, Newcastle’s interest is said to be significant. The Magpies are looking to bolster their defensive options, and Thiaw’s performances in Serie A and the Champions League have made him an attractive prospect.
AC Milan, however, may be reluctant to part with the promising defender. Thiaw has become an important part of the Rossoneri’s squad since joining the club, and his potential for further development is highly valued.
Newcastle’s renewed interest in Thiaw comes as the club continues to strengthen its squad under the ownership of the Saudi Public Investment Fund. The addition of a young, talented defender like Thiaw could further enhance Newcastle’s ambitions for the upcoming season.
