Manchester United and Liverpool are tracking defender Malik Thiaw. Reports suggest that Bayer attempted to sign the player last summer, but Thiaw turned down the offer. His contract with Newcastle runs until 2029.

According to Ekrem Konur, Newcastle defender Malik Thiaw has attracted the attention of several leading clubs in the Premier League. Manchester United and Liverpool are closely monitoring the situation surrounding the German footballer.

Last summer, Bayer Leverkusen showed interest in the centre-back. However, reports indicate that Thiaw turned down the German club's offer.

Since joining Newcastle in August 2025, he has emerged as a viable option for teams looking to bolster their defensive ranks.

Both Manchester United and Liverpool continue to keep a close eye on Thiaw's performances. That said, there have been no confirmations of official bids or discussions initiated with Newcastle.

Both clubs may view the German defender as a potential target to strengthen their backlines in the upcoming transfer windows.

Thiaw signed a contract with Newcastle in August 2025, which runs until 2029, giving the Magpies significant influence over any potential sale of the player.
