In the last few hours, a rumour has emerged in the transfer news about Newcastle United's interest in AC Milan defender Malick Thiaw. This morning, Corriere dello Sport confirmed the report and added some details.
Specifically, it highlighted how the English club, 80% controlled by the Saudi Arabian PIF fund, needs to balance its books by June 30 to avoid sanctions from the Premier League. In this regard, they are trying to sell the young Yankuba Minteh for about 40 million pounds.
If the Magpies manage to achieve this goal, they will then be able to dive headfirst into the market, where they have been major players in recent years. Malick Thiaw has caught the eye of the English side. However, AC Milan considers the value of their young defender to be very high, even though his performance has been somewhat inconsistent in the past season.
According to Corriere dello Sport, to convince the Italian club, an offer of at least 30 million euros is needed, if not more.
