Senegalese goalkeeper Demba Thiam is poised to sign a three-year contract with AC Monza following his release from SPAL, bringing an end to weeks of speculation surrounding his future.
The 27-year-old shot-stopper, who impressed last season while on loan at Juve Stabia, is expected to put pen to paper on a deal that will keep him with the Brianzoli until June 2028.
Thiam’s performances in the 2024–2025 campaign did not go unnoticed, and his return to the Serie A stage appears imminent with Monza keen on bolstering their squad after suffering relegation.
Free of contractual obligations following the conclusion of his time with SPAL, Thiam has drawn attention for his consistency, agility, and leadership between the posts.
His commanding displays for Juve Stabia were a key factor in their solid defensive record, and AC Monza are eager to capitalise on his availability as they mount a promotion push back to Italy’s top flight.
Negotiations between Thiam’s representatives and Monza have reportedly reached a successful conclusion, with both parties agreeing to a long-term project.
Thiam, who began his senior career in Italy and has grown steadily through the ranks, will now link up with another Senegalese international at Monza — forward Keïta Baldé — in a squad aiming for immediate redemption.
The move signals Monza’s intent to blend experience with ambition in their rebuild following relegation.
Thiam’s addition provides much-needed depth and reliability to the club’s goalkeeping options as they prepare for the challenges of Serie B.
Though officially uncapped at the senior level for Senegal, Thiam’s presence in Italian football has made him one of the country’s most consistent performers abroad.
His calm under pressure and sharp reflexes have earned praise across multiple campaigns, and Monza are banking on those qualities to anchor their backline through a demanding season.
An official announcement from AC Monza is expected soon, confirming the signing of Thiam as part of their summer transfer strategy.
With his future now seemingly settled, the Senegalese goalkeeper will focus on helping his new club restore their Serie A status.
