Malick Thiaw agrees personal terms with Newcastle United, improved bid expected

Newcastle United are hoping to sign 23-year-old AC Milan defender Malick Thiaw, and they have agreed on personal terms with him.

According to an update by reputed German journalist Patrick Berger, Malick Thiaw has agreed to join Newcastle United, but they will need to secure an agreement with AC Milan as well.

The Magpies have already had an offer worth €30 million turned down for the 23-year-old, and a report from Gazzetta dello Sport has claimed that Newcastle United are expected to come back with an improved offer to sign the 23-year-old.

The German defender has done quite well in Italian football, and he has the qualities to do well in the Premier League as well. Newcastle United looked vulnerable at the back last season, and they need to improve in that area of the pitch. Signing a quality central defender would be ideal.

Malick Thiaw has the qualities to thrive at the highest level, and the opportunity to move to the Premier League will be quite exciting for him. It will be a major step up in his career, and he will look to establish himself as a key player for Newcastle United in the Premier League.

The Magpies have an exciting project, and they have a talented squad. They have secured UEFA Champions League qualification for the upcoming campaign, and they managed to win the EFL Cup last season as well. It is no secret that they are one of the wealthiest clubs in the world as well. They have the resources to get the deal done, and it will be interesting to see how the situation develops.

Thiaw would be a long-term asset

Malick Thiaw is still relatively young, and he could improve further with coaching and experience. Regular football in England could help him improve further and fulfil his tremendous potential. Newcastle Unitd will be an exciting destination for the player, and he will hope that the two clubs can finalise an agreement in the coming weeks.

The 23-year-old is expected to partner Sven Botman at the heart of Newcastle United’s defence next season. The Tyneside outfit will be up against world-class attackers in the Champions League, and they cannot hope to head into the new season with a vulnerable defensive unit. It is an area of the pitch that is in need of strengthening, and the German would be the ideal long-term investment.
