Newcastle are back in the race for Malick Thiaw, the Milan defender who had recently turned down offers from Como and Crystal Palace. Now, the German appears more open to accepting the interest from the English club, who have offered him a contract worth 4 million euros per season, double what he currently earns with the Rossoneri. Head coach Massimiliano Allegri, however, is reported to have vetoed his sale.
The situation could only change if Thiaw himself were to request a transfer to Newcastle. In that case, Milan director Igli Tare would be forced to look for a new central defender on the market.
The Rossoneri could revive their interest in either Giovanni Leoni from Parma or Pietro Comuzzo of Fiorentina, according to the latest news updates in recent hours.
