The English club has made an official offer of 30 million, which isn’t considered enough. In the meantime, though, they’ve reached an agreement with the defender. Allegri wants to keep him.

Thiaw’s good preseason has put the Rossoneri center back back in the spotlight. Malick has always had suitors, but when he is in good form, he becomes even more attractive. As has been the case in recent weeks. Compared to last year, he has a different spirit and is a different player, and it is easy to link his improvements to Allegri’s arrival. So, Newcastle are back on the attack. The club has long been an admirer, but now the news is that an official offer for the defender has arrived at Casa Milan. Thirty million is not a small amount, but it is still not enough for the Rossoneri to give the green light. However, the latest developments suggest that Malick has reached an agreement with the club where he would be reunited with Tonali.

Good response—  An agreement for a four-year contract with figures that are obviously better—much better—than his current salary at Milan, which stands at €800,000, agreed upon when he arrived at Milanello. In short, Malick would be ready and willing to move to the Magpies, but this is not enough to seal the deal. First of all, Allegri, precisely because of the positive feedback so far, would like to keep him in the squad. And then, quite simply, the $30 million offered by Newcastle is not enough. Basically, Thiaw is not indispensable for the Rossoneri club – on the other hand, no one is – but what is certain is that a higher offer from the English club is expected in Via Aldo Rossi. It is difficult to say how much the deal could be closed at: reasonably, from 35 million upwards. The ball is back in Newcastle’s court, therefore, which, after the player’s yes in the last few hours, will work to get Milan’s as well.
