The Current Reporting – Agent Addresses Talk Client Set For Newcastle United | OneFootball

The agent of AC Milan defender Malick Thiaw has played down rumours of an imminent move to Newcastle United for his client this summer.

Thiaw has been heavily linked with a move to Newcastle in the ongoing summer transfer window.

AC Milan want €40m from his departure but Newcastle are said to have offered only up to €30m for the defender.

There are suggestions that an agreement is imminent for Thiaw’s move to Newcastle, but Gordon Stipic, his agent, insisted that the reports of a move to Newcastle are incorrect.

He also remained coy on Newcastle being interested in getting their hands on the German defender.

Stipic told Sky Deutschland: “The current reporting about my client Malick Thiaw in connection with a possible transfer to Newcastle United is false and incorrect.

Newcastle are interested in him and have made a proposal but the defender has not made a decision yet.

Eddie Howe remains keen on adding one more centre-back to his squad before the end of the window.
