Newcastle United<\/a> could be set to make their third major signing of the summer, according to reports – with a move for AC Milan star Malick Thiaw now being just ‘one step away’ from completion.<\/p>\n

The Magpies have struggled to bring in new targets across the pitch throughout the summer. They dallied on long-term target James Trafford to come into their goalkeeping ranks, being ousted by Manchester City<\/a> at the last moment for the Burnley star, whilst a whole array of attacking targets have chosen other Premier League clubs. Benjamin Sesko was the subject of two bids from the Tyneside outfit<\/a> before joining Manchester United<\/a>, whilst Chelsea<\/a> beat them to the double arrival of Liam Delap and Joao Pedro – and with Hugo Ekitike opting for a switch to Liverpool<\/a>, it’s been a dismal window so far in the north-east.<\/p>\n

Report: Malick Thiaw ‘One Step Away’ from Newcastle Move<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Thiaw\"<\/p>\n

Only Nottingham Forest star Anthony Elanga and Southampton<\/a> stopper Aaron Ramsdale have joined the Magpies, though they are looking to turn around their poor fortunes – and Thiaw could break that duck by moving to St. James’ Park shortly.<\/p>\n

The report by Footmercato journalist Daniele Longo states that Thiaw is ‘one step away’ from a move to Newcastle<\/a>, with a deal potentially being finalised in the next 24 to 48 hours.<\/p>\n

There is a full agreement on his personal terms ahead of a proposed move<\/a> to Tyneside for the 6ft 4in star, whilst the Magpies are close to an agreement with Milan over a transfer fee. That could see the Rossoneri accept a bid of \u00a334million including add-ons, with Eddie Howe keen to bolster his backline for the long-term.<\/p>\n

Fabian Schar and Dan Burn have both entered their mid-thirties, and alongside Lloyd Kelly’s short spell at the club seeing him end up at Juventus<\/a>, it leaves only Sven Botman as a long-term option at the club. Newcastle have tried to remedy that in the past, with a move for Marc Guehi having been in their sights – but the Magpies have remained unsuccessful in their bid to land the Crystal Palace<\/a> captain, seemingly turning to Thiaw as a result.<\/p>\n

The Germany international began his career at Schalke, before joining Milan in 2022. First-team minutes have been hard to come by for the defensive star, only playing in 63 of a possible 114 Serie A<\/a> games since his move to the San Siro – but Newcastle could offer him a real run of guaranteed game time if they can get the deal over the line.<\/p>\n
