MN: Thiaw likely to remain at Milan after Como debacle – how his situation changed

After being halfway out of the door, Malick Thiaw has recovered his position and looks set to remain at AC Milan, according to a report.

There have been reports regarding Thiaw’s future for some time. Interest has been present from Italy, Germany and England, as you would expect for a young defender who has regularly impressed in Serie A.

However, it seemed a move to Como was most likely. In fact, the club even accepted a bid from their Serie A neighbours and Thiaw held several conversations with representatives. However, he opted to remain. Hoping to prove himself to Massimiliano Allegri or move to Germany.

Thiaw’s situation

Now, it seems that it will be the former. As MilanNews has learnt that Allegri is ‘pleasantly impressed’ with him and sees him as a part of the team. Furthermore, his performance against Arsenal has given him more reason to keep him around.

It is not a one-way situation, though. The German is feeling happy with his situation, and the relationship being built with Allegri, feeling valued in his team. Because of this, he is more than happy to stay put with the Diavolo.

A report this morning suggested that he could be used in the negotiations for Dusan Vlahovic, but the latest update makes that seem unlikely.
