US EditionNewcastle United Make Malick Thiaw Progress as £35m Transfer Edges Closer
ENGLAND, AUG 9 – Newcastle United is set to pay around €35 million to AC Milan for Malick Thiaw, who agreed personal terms to strengthen their central defense, sources say.
- Newcastle United advanced negotiations to sign AC Milan defender Malick Thiaw at a deal worth around £35 million as of August 2025.
- Newcastle responded to the rejection of their initial 30 million euro bid by significantly increasing their proposal, which encouraged AC Milan to advance negotiations more earnestly.
- Malick Thiaw, a 24-year-old German central defender who joined AC Milan two years ago after leaving Schalke 04, has expressed interest in transferring to Newcastle, attracted by the club’s sporting vision and the opportunity to compete in the Premier League.
- The player was on the bench for Milan in a pre-season friendly against Leeds on Saturday, and Newcastle expects Thiaw to undergo a medical and formalize his transfer in the coming days.
- Securing Thiaw would add defensive reinforcement to Newcastle after several transfer setbacks and could strengthen the squad ahead of the new season.
