Malick Thiaw could return to Bayer Leverkusen, a club where he had already spent an important season for his professional growth in 2010/2011 during his time in the youth sector. According to Sport Bild, the current German champions are very interested in the German defender owned by Milan and have already started concrete contacts with the player’s agent.
Thiaw has a clear desire for the upcoming months...
He wants to return to the German national team’s call-up list. The new head coach Nagelsmann has never called up Malick since taking the role, and this is certainly an unencouraging sign in view of the 2026 World Cup. This is why he may ask to return to Germany with the hope of having a better chance of receiving a call-up. Thiaw is open to the idea of returning to the Bundesliga and Bayer Leverkusen, a club he knows well and appreciates for its philosophy and the project it has developed in recent years.
Will Malick Thiaw's contract with AC Milan be renewed?
Thiaw is tied to Milan with a contract expiring in 2027. Currently, there is no progress on the renewal topic with the Rossoneri, as the management has not initiated talks for a potential extension. Malick is an important player for the team, but in the event of missing out on next season’s Champions League, he could be sacrificed on the altar of the market for a fee exceeding 20 million euros. And Bayer Leverkusen is ready to seize this great opportunity, as relayed via Calciomercato.com.
