Last month, AC Milan closed negotiations with Como for Malick Thiaw’s sale. However, it seems that it will not go through.
Players deciding against moves is nothing new. However, it is common for their interest to be probed before any official offers are made to their parent clubs. This, clearly, was not the case with Thiaw’s move to Como.

After the bid was accepted by Milan, the German defender was asked several times whether he wanted the move. However, he has not given an answer to Cesc Fabregas, though an update has arrived today.
Two preferences
Per reports from Gazzetta dello Sport, the German has ‘wrecked’ negotiations. In fact, it is increasingly probable that he will reject the offer from the rising Serie A club, and there are two suggestions why this may be, as MilanNews relays.
Firstly is a desire to move back to Germany, where interest is present, though not as intense as that from Como. Bayer Leverkusen recently signed a different centre half, which would rule out a move for him probably.
Alternatively, he would want to make a point to Massimiliano Allegri and Igli Tare to believe in him for next season. It remains to be seen if there is any chance of this, especially with the interest in Giovanni Leoni not dimming.
swap with Frankfurt for Brown!
similar price, best low-cost LB on the market along-side Robertson (wage and age) and Gutierrez (too attacking)… Hato, Udogie, Cambiasso won’t come with this management
I haven’t seen Brown but from what I’ve heard he’s good and Thiaw would probably love to return to Germany and we get Brown plus maybe even some cash so we can buy Giovanni Leoni together with the Theo money
that would be the dream…
add Dodo/Vanderson/Wesley as RB and both midfield and defense are done…
If they can manage all of the deals by the end of July, attack can then takes it’s time. I’m fine with Leao-Gimenez-Puli as starters, who comes for sub-ST and sub-LW roles is less relevant
Poor como. Now that make 2 player ACM reject them , first theo and now thiaw
