NEWCASTLE, UK – Newcastle United have stepped up their pursuit of AC Milan defender Malick Thiaw, submitting an improved proposal to the Italian club as negotiations intensify.
The Premier League club has already reached an agreement on personal terms with the 24-year-old center-back, signaling his clear desire for the move.
Despite the player’s willingness to join, the deal remains complex. AC Milan manager Massimiliano Allegri is reportedly keen to keep Thiaw at the San Siro, making a final agreement between the clubs a matter of tense negotiation.
Newcastle’s latest and more significant offer is a direct response to Milan’s reluctance to sell.
The Tyneside club is determined to strengthen its defensive options and sees Thiaw as a key target.
While talks are ongoing, the improved bid is a strong statement of intent from Newcastle, who are hopeful of securing the defender’s signature before the transfer window closes.
