Sources told Football Italia last week that Milan were ready to send both Thiaw and Alvaro Morata to the Stadio Sinigaglia in a €40m transfer package.
According to Calciomercato.com, however, Thiaw seems unwilling to move to Lake Como as his priority is to return to the Bundesliga this summer.

The 23-year-old believes that a return to his native country would give him more chances to be called up by the Germany national team in 2025-26.

Thiaw is expected to reject a €4m-a-year contract offer from the Azzurri and wait for a proposal from Germany.
As for Morata, Milan and Como are waiting for Galatasaray’s green light as the Spaniard is on loan at the Turkish club until the end of the year (December 31, 2025).
