GdS: Thiaw rejects Premier League exit offer to fight for Milan – the situation

Malick Thiaw has rejected transfer offers this summer and intends to stay at AC Milan. Specifically, approaches from Como and Crystal Palace were turned down by the player.

Thiaw declined Crystal Palace's offer because he wants to remain at Milan and compete for a place in manager Massimiliano Allegri's plans. A potential move to Germany, initially considered possible, became unlikely after Bayer Leverkusen withdrew their interest.

Should Thiaw stay, AC Milan will not sign a new central defender. This decision is attributed to both a lack of necessity for an additional player in that position and insufficient funds for such a transfer. The club also cannot afford Giovanni Leoni, who remains their primary defensive target.

The situation indicates a mutual desire for Thiaw to continue with Milan for the upcoming season.
