Malick Thiaw will be confirmed as a Newcastle United player after the AC Milan Center-back completed his doctor with the Uracas.
In the midst of his separation with Alexander Isak for his desire to join Liverpool, Newcastle has supported a frustrating summer while preparing for a 2025-26 campaign in which they will play football of the Champions League for the second time in three seasons.
Although Newcastle completed a movement of £ 55 million for the extreme of Sweden Anthony Elanga de Nottingham Forest, they have found other agreements difficult to finish, losing a series of objectives, particularly in attack areas. After the long -term goalkeeper Target James Trafford returned to Manchester City from Burnley, Newcastle turned to bring Aaron Ramsdale on a southampton loan with the option to buy.
But they have found success in the recruitment of Thiaw, with the center of Germany that landed in Tyneside on Sunday before undergoing their doctor in Newcastle training field on Monday.
It is ready to sign a rate in the £ 35 million region and address an important problem in the Newcastle defense center. Eddie Howe has greatly trusted Fabian Schar and Dan Burn, both 33 years old, in the midst of persistent injury problems for Sven Botman.
The arrival of Thiaw, 24, gives Newcastle a longer -term option in the position along with the 25 -year botan.
Thiaw joined Milan from Schalke in 2022 and made 85 appearances for Rossoneri, scoring his only goal for the club in a 3-1 victory over Real Madrid in the Champions League last season.
Massimiliano Allegri was anxious to keep Thiaw when his second spell by Milan begins. However, before addressing your flight to Newcastle, Thiaw told reporters: “Newcastle? I’m happy with the choice. I’m ready for Premier League.”
Newcastle is likely to now change your approach to ensure attack reinforcements, with the Isak saga throwing a shadow on your efforts in the transfer window.
It is believed that an agreement for the Brentford striker, Yane Wissa, is close, although with her season starting on Saturday and Isak training away from the team, the probability is that Newcastle will face Aston Villa with Anthony Gordon operating in a false role of nine.
