AC Milan have found a new name to reinforce the defensive department in Stefano Pioli's squad. The club directors, Paolo Maldini and Frederic Massara have set their sights on a 20-year-old German defender.
According to what is reported by Sky Sport Italia, there are contacts in progress now between the Italians and FC Schalke 04 who play in the second Bundesliga division for their jewel Malick Thiaw.
There is still no agreement but negotiations are well underway. The young talent, native of Dussledorf, has also attracted the attention of Premier League giants Liverpool.
Malick Thiaw, who is now in AC Milan's radar, has already featured in 21 games so far this season with his club. He is also part of the German U-21 national team.
