Durham turned away players like Elliot Anderson and Yankuba Minteh, who joined Nottingham Forest and Brighton & Hove Albion, respectively, as they hurried to escape any sustainability and profit charges. The Magpies received goalkeeper Odysseas Vlachodimos in exchange for the latter, expanding Howe’s options for stopping shots.

Of course, the Magpies may not have truly begun their summer business until the last week, when they finally welcomed Paul Mitchell as their new sporting director after Dan Ashworth left for Manchester United. Starting with this summer’s games, Mitchell’s goal upon joining the Magpies is to turn them into consistent top four players in the Premier League. For the first time since taking over, the new sporting director gave an interview to Newcastle’s official website, saying, “I take great delight in assuming the role of new sporting director for Newcastle United.

“I’ve observed the club’s recent expansion and aspirations. The choice to join was made simple by this and the incredible fan base. I’m eager to get going and contribute to the organization’s expansion and sustained competitiveness in every facet of top-tier football performance.”

Having stated that, Mitchell’s first assignment might involve traveling to Italy in order to provide the Magpies with defensive reinforcement. Newcastle has reportedly made contact with AC Milan regarding a move to recruit Malick Thiaw this summer. The transaction is reportedly worth between €35 million and €40 million (£30 million and £34 million), according to CalcioMercato. Howe, who is said to be a huge fan of the German, might possibly welcome a significant addition to his backfield.

Schar can be replaced with “Brilliant” Thiaw.
Fabian Schar, who is already 32 years old, is still very much the center of Howe’s team, but Newcastle may soon need to consider finding a replacement. That’s when they ought to ask Thiaw to intervene.

and complete that unfilled space. The 22-year-old appears more than capable of completing a move to the Premier League after displaying a great deal of promise at Milan. Given Schar’s skill with the ball, Thiaw’s passing statistics against his are especially noteworthy and emphasize a quality Howe will require in spades when Schar is ready to stand aside at St. James’ Park.

It’s not surprising that Thiaw has received such high marks from Football Talent Scout’s Jacek Kulig, who called the Milan player “simply brilliant” on X, given how much more he still has to give at such a young age. Now, people at St. James’ Park might profit from that genius if Newcastle increases their interest.
