AC Milan Weighs Juventus Swap for Malick Thiaw as Newcastle Offer Falls Short

Rejecting Newcastle’s €30 million bid preserves Thiaw’s value for a swap with Juventus as Bayer Leverkusen rejoins negotiations.

Overview

  • Milan is evaluating a swap deal that would send Thiaw to Juventus in exchange for striker Dusan Vlahovic.
  • Newcastle United has agreed personal terms with Thiaw and bid €30 million, but Milan considers the offer insufficient.
  • Bayer Leverkusen has returned to negotiations after initial talks in June to shore up its central defense.
  • Schalke 04 stands to collect 10 percent of Milan’s profit on any future sale under a sell-on clause.
  • Coach Massimiliano Allegri’s backing of Thiaw and his contract through 2027 underpin Milan’s reluctance to sell.
