According to the latest news from transfer expert Di Marzio, newly-promoted Premier League side Newcastle United have once again shown strong interest in AC Milan's rising star in defense, Malik Jaffe. This news is particularly striking in the context that Milan have just successfully signed Spanish striker Morata and continue to seek to strengthen the team.
Di Marzio noted that while Milan are currently actively looking for new reinforcement opportunities in the market, they are also facing the possibility of potentially selling some of their players to balance their finances and squad structure. Among them, Malik Jaffe has been the focus of several teams' attention due to his outstanding potential and recent great performances, while Newcastle United is one of the latest and most determined suitors.
Newcastle United have reportedly been eyeing Malik Jaffe since the early days of the summer transfer market, but didn't make an immediate move at the time for various reasons. However, with the summer transfer window deepening and the need to reshuffle the squad, Newcastle now seem ready to go after the young German defender with more vigor.
Newcastle United's new sporting director Paul Mitchell is a great admirer of Malik Jaffe, which certainly adds more possibilities and motivation to this potential deal. Although Milan have yet to receive an official offer from Newcastle, contacts and negotiations between the two sides may have already begun quietly.
For Milan, Malik Jaffe is an important part of the team's future plans, and his growth and performance are of great significance to the team's long-term development. However, faced with the temptation and possible lucrative offers from strong teams such as Newcastle United, Milan's management will have to seriously consider whether they should sell the young defender and the alternatives after the sale.
