Sky Sport Italia reports that Newcastle United is poised to make an initial bid for Milan’s Malick Thiaw.

The Italian outlet indicates that Milan is anticipating an offer from Newcastle for the 22-year-old German center-back. The Magpies have shown interest in Thiaw over the past few weeks, and recent communications with Milan have confirmed their intent.

Although Thiaw is not currently available on the market, Tuttosport mentions that Milan is open to considering offers. While Newcastle has not yet submitted a formal proposal, an official bid is expected to be made soon.

Milan is already exploring potential replacements for Thiaw, with RB Salzburg’s Strahinja Pavlovic being a key target. The Rossoneri have reportedly reached a personal agreement with Pavlovic and are in talks with his club, with a transfer fee of at least €20 million needed to complete the deal.
