German champions Bayern Munich are considering a potential move for Malick Thiaw and have been in contact with the player's representatives.

There is talk of potential offers for Malick Thiaw valued between €60 million and €70 million. Bayern Munich is reportedly a leading contender and prepared to compete for his transfer during the summer.

Liverpool are also considering a bid for Newcastle center back Malick Thiaw, for whom Bayern Munich and Manchester United are both planning summer moves, according to Sports Boom.

A report from Sports Boom indicated that Bayern Munich and Manchester United are planning moves for Newcastle United centre-back Malick Thiaw in the summer of 2026. The 24-year-old Germany international also holds Finnish citizenship. He joined Newcastle from AC Milan in the summer of 2025 for a fee of £35 million and has a contract until 2029. The same report suggests that a return to Germany to play for Bayern could be an appealing prospect for the player. The report also states that Manchester United's co-owners, INEOS, intend to overhaul their defence and reportedly see Thiaw as a future key player for the team. Thiaw has 5 caps for Germany and a current Transfermarkt market value of €40.00m. In the 2025/2026 Premier League season, he has made 23 appearances and scored 4 goals.
