Liverpool and Man United watch Malick Thiaw
BBC Sport reports Liverpool and Manchester United are tracking Malick Thiaw, while Fulham wants to secure Calvin Bassey and James Rodríguez talks in Serie B.
Liverpool and Manchester United are monitoring German defender Malick Thiaw, according to BBC Sport. The report adds that Newcastle have no intention of selling the 25-year-old.
Transfer-market chatter
The same round-up also flags other talks and targets:
- Fulham are expected to begin contract discussions with Calvin Bassey (26), who is said to be drawing interest from Inter Milan.
- Former Real Madrid midfielder James Rodríguez (35) is in talks over a move to Serie B side Avellino.
- Bournemouth’s winger Rayan (20) has a £130m release clause that would kick in during the summer of 2027.
What comes next
At the moment, none of this is confirmed deal-making. For Thiaw, the big question is whether Newcastle stick to their stance—if they do, Liverpool and Manchester United will likely be limited to monitoring and planning, rather than pushing an immediate transfer.
On Fulham’s side, the club’s priority looks to be getting Bassey tied down through negotiations, despite the extra pressure from Italy. Meanwhile, Rodríguez’s situation is the one to watch if those Serie B talks move from discussions into something more concrete.
