Thiaw leaves Milan camp for Newcastle United medical on Monday
The figures given by Sky Sports Deutschland transfer pundit Florian Plettenberg is €38m plus €4m in add-ons, slightly higher than the one in the Italian media, which had been €35m plus €5m in bonuses.
Regardless, Calciomercato.com confirm that Thiaw has already left the Milan training camp and should arrive in Newcastle this evening.
It is a short journey, seeing as the squad was in London anyway for this afternoon's friendly match against Chelsea.
Thiaw sale gives Milan a big profit

The German defender had been purchased from Schalke 04 in 2022 for €9.3m plus up to another €10m in various add-ons.
He had been sold to Como earlier in the summer as part of a double deal with Alvaro Morata, but refused the destination, seeing it as a step down from Milan.
His contract at San Siro was only due to run until June 2027, so it was the right time for the club to cash in and make a big profit.

Report – Torino Must Make A Sale Or Two Before Signing Inter Milan Midfielder
Torino reportedly must make at least one or two sales before they can sign Inter Milan midfielder Kristjan Asllani. This according to today's print edition of Turin-based newspaper Tuttosport, via FCInterNews. Kristjan Asllani remains an Inter player despite strong transfer links away this summer. The Nerazzurri do not see the 23-year-old as fitting into their plans. However, they have struggled to find a buyer for him. Reportedly, a key factor in Inter's inability to sell Asllani has been the fact that the player himself would only want a move to a different team within Serie A. Torino have emerged with an interest in signing Asllani. However, as Tuttosport note, it would not be an easy deal for the Granata financially. Torino Must Make Sales To Afford Inter Midfielder Kristjan Asllani MILAN, ITALY – APRIL 23: Kristjan Asllani of FC Internazionale is challenged by Tijjani Reijnders of AC Milan during the coppa Italia Semi Final match between FC Internazionale and AC Milan at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza on April 23, 2025 in Milan, Italy. (Photo by) Firstly, there would be the matter of Inter's asking price for Asllani. Reportedly, Inter value the 23-year-old at around €18 million. That is well above what Torino are able to invest. Then, there would be the matter of fitting Asllani into Torino's squad. Particularly as they are currently quite well-stocked in midfield, at least numerically. Adrian Tameze is one player who could leave to facilitate Asllani's arrival, reports Tuttosport. Then, striker Antonio Sanabria is another candidate to depart.

Carlisle United supporters' emotional tribute to fan who died on holiday
This was the emotional moment Carlisle United fans paid tribute to one of their own. Applause broke out at Brunton Park in the 25th minute of their 3-3 draw with Boreham Wood on Saturday. It was a tribute to United supporter Ali Graham, who tragically died whilst on holiday last month. Ali's friends had called on fans to join in the 25th-minute tribute during Carlisle's first home game of the campaign, with United themselves helping to publicise the appeal. And supporters responded with a rousing minute of applause in memory of Ali. One of Ali's close friends, Ryan Stubbs, had shared plans for the tribute before the game. Posting on X, he said: "Last month my best mate Ali Graham sadly lost his life whilst on holiday. "Ali was a massive Carlisle fan and this weekend myself, Ali's family and friends will be in attendance and we would like you all to join us in a minutes applause on the 25th minute." Carlisle United shared the post with fans as did the club's supporter liaison officer along with United's police account and groups such as the Warwick Road End supporters. Ali's passing has already seen a number of other tributes staged in his memory. Last month Stanley's Bar and Cafe in Carlisle staged a special night to help raise money to support his family with funeral costs. A GoFundMe crowdfunding appeal also raised more than £11,000 to help bring Ali back to Carlisle so he could be laid to rest.

Revealed – Wage Offer From Saudi Club Neom To Inter Milan & France Star
Saudi Pro League club Neom are ready to offer Inter Milan defender Benjamin Pavar wages of €8 million net per season. This according to today's print edition of Turin-based newspaper Tuttosport, via FCInterNews. Recent reports have suggested that Inter are ready to sell Benjamin Pavard. Inter signed Pavard two years ago from Bayern Munich. And the France international has certainly had his part to play, helping the Nerazzurri to the Serie A title in his first season at the club. But perhaps Pavard, who turns thirty next season, is not in line with the future of Inter's project. The likes of Galatasaray and Lille have shown an interest. And it is not just these European clubs who have reportedly identified Pavard as a target. From the Saudi Pro League, Neom have also reportedly emerged as suitors for the 2018 World Cup winner. Neom Ready To Offer Inter Defender Benjamin Pavard €8M Net/Season MILAN, ITALY – APRIL 16: Benjamin Pavard of FC Internazionale applauds the fans as he warms up prior to the UEFA Champions League 2024/25 Quarter Final Second Leg match between FC Internazionale Milano and FC Bayern München at San Siro on April 16, 2025 in Milan, Italy. (Photo by) According to Tuttosport, Galatasaray and Lille would struggle to meet Inter's asking price for Pavard. The Nerazzurri certainly aren't going to let the Frenchman leave for less than €20 million. That is the amount that Inter would need to bring in to avoid taking a capital loss. However, Neom would have no trouble paying that amount for Pavard. Meanwhile, the Saudi club are also prepared to put big wages on the table to tempt the player himself. They are reportedly offering around €8 million net per season.
