AC Milan defender Malick Thiaw may be on his way out of the club this summer, with his future reportedly hinging on the team’s ability to secure Champions League qualification.
According to reports from Football Italia, the German-Senegalese centre-back could be sold during the upcoming transfer window if Milan fails to secure a top-four finish in Serie A.
The club is said to be considering his departure as part of financial adjustments necessary to balance their books.
Thiaw, 23, has attracted interest from several clubs, with Bayer Leverkusen emerging as a strong contender for his signature.
The Bundesliga leaders are reportedly prepared to make a €30 million offer to secure his services.
The young defender, who joined Milan in 2022, has been a key figure in the squad, showcasing his defensive solidity and tactical awareness.
However, with Milan facing financial pressures, his future remains uncertain as the summer transfer window approaches.
While the Rossoneri are yet to make a final decision, much will depend on their league performance in the closing months of the season.
A Champions League spot could see the club retain Thiaw, but failure to qualify may force them to part ways with the highly rated defender.
