Como's leadership confirmed that German center-back Malick Thiaw declined their transfer proposal during recent negotiations. The AC Milan defender turned down the Serie A newcomers despite their persistent recruitment efforts. Club officials acknowledged their unsuccessful pursuit of the former Schalke 04 player through public statements. Thiaw appears committed to remaining with the Rossoneri or securing a move to another elite European institution. The 23-year-old defender seeks better opportunities under new management at San Siro.
Thiaw has struggled to establish himself as a regular starter since joining Milan from the German Bundesliga. The defender faces uncertainty about his playing time under incoming coach Massimiliano Allegri's tactical system. Como representatives expressed disappointment but understood the player's career ambitions extend beyond their current project. Milan values Thiaw as a valuable squad asset despite his limited recent appearances. The rejection highlights the competitive nature of summer transfer negotiations between clubs of different statures.
