"It is NOT TRUE: Bayern are interested in signing Malick Thiaw this summer. Of course, he's an interesting player. He's already played for the German national team, and if they're searching for a new centre-back, Thiaw has a profile that's of great interest. I know the player quite well, but at the moment, it doesn't make any sense to bring the 24-year-old to Munich because of Jonathan Tah and Dayot Upamecano."
"I heard that the player himself would, of course, see a better chance of more minutes with the national side if he were to make a move back to Germany. But Malick Thiaw is doing very well at Newcastle, and he's enjoying his stay there, so there's no pressure here! I heard that Manchester United, however, do have their eye on the centre-back, so perhaps this is the more interesting transfer story at the moment!"
Malick Thiaw has attracted transfer interest following his impressive performances at Newcastle United since joining from AC Milan. While speculation linked the German international to Bayern Munich, transfer expert Christian Falk reports this is unlikely. Bayern already possess strong defensive options in Jonathan Tah and Dayot Upamecano, making a move for Thiaw impractical despite his quality. Falk indicates Manchester United represent the more concrete transfer story, with the club actively monitoring the 24-year-old centre-back. Thiaw is reportedly content at Newcastle and performing well, with no immediate pressure forcing a departure.
