Malick Thiaw remains a transfer target for Newcastle United but Massimiliano Allegri has told AC Milan he wants to keep him.
Thiaw’s future has been the subject of constant speculation. After finding himself out of the team towards the end of last season despite Sergio Conceicao using three centre-backs, talk of a potential exit was rife.

It is believed that Milan even agreed to sell him to Como. The club from the lake offered €25m which was deemed to be enough, yet the German defender eventually rejected the idea of moving there, despite the fact he would have got a big pay rise.
Newcastle still in for Thiaw
Matteo Moretto has given an update on various different negotiations during a video on YouTube published this afternoon, and he spoke a bit about Thiaw’s situation.
“Malick Thiaw continues to be a target for Newcastle. Milan and Como had reached an agreement for 25 million euros in recent weeks, but the German did not accept the transfer because his priority was and is to stay at Milan,” he said (via MilanNews).
“If he really has to leave, the player has always said he wants to go to a club that plays in the Champions League. Newcastle are looking for a central defender: the first objective was Scalvini, but the block of Atalanta has led the English to put the deal on hold.
“Newcastle are looking around and an old favourite already discussed in the past is Thiaw. The English club has returned to inquire about the German. To date there is still no offer, but Newcastle are trying to understand the conditions of the German’s exit.
“They tell me two things today: the first is that Allegri would like to keep him. Then the market is the market and Milan would be ready to listen to offers, but this time Milan is asking for more than the 25 million that Como was ready to pay. We are talking about a figure higher than 30 million.
“We ‘ll see what happens, but the news so far is that Newcastle have put Thiaw back in their sights. The player is important to Allegri and he wouldn’t want to part with him, barring offers that aren’t refutable.”
go for Lucumi as a replacement, in his final year and can play in both 2 and 3 men defense; Serie A proven!
use Thiaw + 25-30M from Jashari fund and get our boy Sandro back! Newcastle can sign Jashari instead… good luck to them dealing with Brugge…
forza Anderlecht!
Leao – Vlahovic – Pulisic
Sandro – Ricci – Modric/Fofana
Estupinan – Pavlovic – Lucumi – ?
Maignan
guess who wins Scudetto with this squad?!
Napoli
yet they lost to Brest…
but jokes aside, Napoli are obviously clear favorites.
Ha ha 😂.
He posts a line up with only 10 players and no right back and asks guess who is going to win the scudetto.
vatnik calma…
You seem so eager to sell players.
Thiaw is young and the only one of the four with a good long ball. Even with a back 4 we need four CB.
Something we need is continuity. You have 4 of 10 field players from last year and a 40 yr old starting. If there is a Scudetto for 8th you will win it.
Maybe everyone gets a trophy this year in Serie A?
🤣🤣🤣🤣
You’re very funny
What kind video game you play kid? 🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Please don’t bring back tonali, we already have Ricci + future star on comotto. No need Sandro again.
Forza Persija !
Imagine:
Ricci – Jashari – Tonali
Midfield.
Doesn’t it look lovely?
The fact that NUFC are only interested in Thiaw out of our bunch should be a telling sign NOT to sell Thiaw. The only quality CB we have with nothing but upside.
You are not giving Gabbia enough credit. At the end of Fonseca, Gabbia + Thiaw looked rock solid even without a DM to screen.
Cannot believe Sergio didn’t keep that, or Pulisic on corners, or …
The only thing Gabbia has going for him is his sense of positioning. He has no speed or ball control to play out the back outside of sideways passes…
Thiaw is the only CB that can play Allegri’s defensive schemes well. Tomori is a known commodity and Pavlo is still a gamble.
I believe it is Gabbia positioning that means when combined with one of the others provides the solidity at the back. I also think we see more from him with Allegri as coach.
These first 5 games will be very interesting to see what we do for defensive shape.
Yeah but Thiaw in the air is so poor, struggle to read the ball movements, and get drribling past by small technical fast player, while Gabbia thrive in those aspect.
Gabbia positioning was important to Milan. He has the ability. thiaw ? Was very poor on decision, always make own goal, losing the ball and always late for offiside trap. Even costacurta already warn Milan to sold him soon possible.
And there’s Tomori who’s in obvious decline and he’s not even being offered around. They’re so desperate for capital gains, they don’t even care what the coach wants.
Tomori turned down moves to Juventus and Tottenham.
Newcastle is interested in Thiaw, Milan isn’t offering him around.
Teams aren’t interested in players who are in obvious decline no mater how much you offer them around.
Don’t let common sense and facts stop you from pushing your narratives.
You want to talk facts? Ok. What about Leverkusen and Como? Pushing your narrative made you magically forget about that it seems. Yes they are offering him around because they smell huge capital gain.
I have a plea to SM, just start writing articles how Allegri is bewitched by Adli, Bennacer, Musah etc.. so we can help Tare get rid of all the deadwood we have in the squad.
Thanks in advance!

Sälj Tomori i stället. Om inte det går och Thiaw säljs hämtar vi Leoni
You all understand they fucced us right!?
With that money we could add some, and get Leoni. Be angry!
Please Thiaw accept that offer
