AC Milan defender Thiaw turned down a move to Como despite his club accepting their bid. Reporter Antonello Giuglia broke the news about the German center-back's rejection. The 25 million euro offer from Como looked like a done deal just days ago. Milan officials had already given their approval for the transfer to happen. Thiaw killed the move when he said no to joining the smaller Italian team.
The player wants to remain at Milan or find a bigger European club instead. Como does not appeal to the defender who has Senegalese heritage. He believes moving there would hurt his career prospects going forward. Other major teams across Europe might offer him better opportunities. Thiaw sees himself playing at a higher level than Como can provide.
Milan had hoped to cash out on their underperforming defender through this sale. Thiaw has not lived up to expectations since arriving at the famous club. His performances have disappointed coaches and supporters alike over recent seasons. The center-back still has time to turn his career around at Milan. He could also wait for a more attractive offer from another top European side.
