Milan Finalizing De Winter Transfer to Replace Thiaw

Milan are finalizing De Winter’s transfer documents following Thiaw’s €40 million sale to Newcastle United.

Overview

AC Milan secured a €40 million-plus-add-ons deal to sell Malick Thiaw to Newcastle United.
The club reached a verbal agreement with Genoa to sign centre-back Koni De Winter for a €20 million fixed fee plus performance-based add-ons.
Milan are wrapping up the remaining paperwork ahead of De Winter’s medical, which is expected as early as Tuesday.
Max Allegri’s previous work with the Belgian defender at Juventus helped accelerate Milan’s pursuit.
De Winter’s established Serie A experience and lower price tag made him the preferred option over pricier targets like Giovanni Leoni and Pietro Comuzzo.
