Sky: Newcastle agree personal terms with Milan defender Thiaw
Newcastle United have agreed personal terms with Milan defender Malick Thiaw, amid rumours the German centre-back could be leaving the Rossoneri this summer. According to what has been reported by Sky journalist Patrick Berger on X, Newcastle have agreed terms on a four-year-deal with the former Schalke man, whilst Bayer Leverkusen also remain keen on the defender. MADRID, SPAIN – NOVEMBER 05: Malick Thiaw of AC Milan controls the ball during the UEFA Champions League 2024/25 League Phase MD4 match between Real Madrid C.F. and AC Milan at Estadio Santiago Bernabeu on November 05, 2024 in Madrid, Spain. (Photo by) However, Berger suggests Milan head coach Massimiliano Allegri does not want the player to leave this summer, as he sees a potential future for the German in a 3-man defence. What next for Thiaw amid Newcastle interest? At the start of the summer, it looked apparent that Thiaw was on the transfer list for Milan. However, Allegri has reportedly been convinced by the 23-year-old in pre-season so far and having additional options at centre-back may be vital for the way the former Juventus coach wishes to run things in Lombardy.

(Photo by) Newcastle reportedly made a €30 million offer for Thiaw and talks between the two clubs continue but the Rossoneri are in a position to demand a large fee for the defender.

Report – Inter Milan Receive Double Injury Boost As Poland & Belgium Stars Resume Full Training
Piotr Zielinski and Yann Bisseck have reportedly joined the Inter Milan pre-season training camp after recovering from injuries. According to Sky Sport via FCInterNews, both players have resumed full training. Recurring injuries and a lack of match fitness plagued the Polish midfielder's first season at San Siro. Furthermore, he was out of the Inter squad for the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup with a calf injury. However, he is finally back in training. Bisseck & Zielinski Hand Inter Milan Double Fitness Boost MILAN, ITALY – NOVEMBER 26: Piotr Zielinski of FC Internazionale looks on during the warm up prior to the UEFA Champions League 2024/25 League Phase MD5 match between FC Internazionale Milano and RB Leipzig at Stadio San Siro on November 26, 2024 in Milan, Italy. (Photo by) Like Zielinski, Bisseck is back from injury. Indeed, the German defender sustained a hamstring problem during the Champions League final. Therefore, new manager Cristian Chivu couldn't count on him for the Club World Cup. But he has regained full fitness ahead of Inter's opening pre-season friendly against French giants Monaco. Meanwhile, the San Siro giants are contemplating selling the 24-year-old to the highest bidder. By contrast, they have renewed trust in Davide Frattesi. Indeed, the Italian midfielder fits Chivu's new formation perfectly. However, he won't be back until the start of the 2025/26 season.

Inter Milan could soon part ways with Zinho Vanheusden, who's on the verge of joining Spanish minnows Marbella. According to FCInter1908, the 26-year-old defender is about to sign a contract at Dama de Noche. Zinho Vanheusden joined Inter from Standard Liege as a teen prodigy in 2015, linking up with the youth academy. Despite earning a first-team promotion in 2018, he has never made a professional debut for the Nerazzurri. Instead, he has spent most of his Inter career on loan at other clubs.

BELGA PHOTO BRUNO FAHY (Photo by BRUNO FAHY/BELGA MAG/AFP via Getty Images) Vanheusden, who failed to impress during a season-long loan at KV Mechelen, will permanently leave San Siro this summer. Indeed, he has already started training with Marbella. Furthermore, the Serie A runners-up have given him permission to join the Spanish third-tier side before signing a contract. Though Vanheusden's current deal at Giuseppe Meazza expires next summer, Inter will facilitate his exit. Indeed, they will terminate his contract in order for Marbella to sign him this summer.
