Newcastle United have completed the recruitment of AC Milan defender Malik Chiau.
The BBC reported on the 13th (Korea time) "Chiau, the German national team, will join Newcastle led by Eddie Howe for about 34.6 million pounds (about 64.6 billion won) including options."He is Newcastle's third signing this summer, joining Nottingham Forest winger Anthony Elanga and goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale on loan from Southampton earlier in the season.
Chiu said in an official interview with the club that `I'm really excited to join this huge club. I can't wait to start training and meet new colleagues and staff"The coach showed me his vision for me and the club's goal, and I'm really looking forward to it. The name Newcastle itself needs no explanation. It's a great club, and there are passionate fans."

"I'm very happy to bring Malik in," Howe said of Chiu's recruitment. He is a player who has been paying attention for a long time and will add a certain quality to the defense. "He is still young, but he has experience in the Champions League and has played in Bundesliga and Serie A. This will greatly help us return to the European stage this season."
A.C. Milan, Chiu's former team, urgently needs to reinforce its defenders. This is also related to South Korean national defender Kim Min-jae.
Earlier on the 11th, a number of Italian media, including Repubblica, predicted the possibility of Kim Min-jae returning to Italy. The most mentioned team is AC Milan.
As Chiu left, defensive reinforcement was urgently needed, and Bayern Munich's Kim Min-jae drew attention. AC Milan is a club that has been interested in Kim Min-jae even before the start of the transfer market this summer. Bayern Munich is also said to be open to the sale of Kim Min-jae. AC Milan's most realistic option is to bring Kim Min-jae on loan, including a full transfer option.
If Kim Min-jae joins AC Milan, it is expected to be of great help to the establishment of coach Allegri's solid defensive organization. Kim Min-jae is a resource that can digest both 400 and 300. It can provide AC Milan with a variety of defensive tactical options.
Kim Min-jae has already finished adapting to the league by winning Serie A in Italy. In the 2022-2023 season, Napoli contributed to a surprise victory in Serie A and was named the league's best defender.
Kim Min-jae is not in his best condition since joining Bayern Munich. Some predict that he will stay on the bench next season after making a decisive mistake in the UEFA Champions League last season. If it is clear that the opportunity to play is reduced, the option to leave for AC Milan can also be considered.
