Liverpool and Manchester United are reportedly keeping tabs on Newcastle defender Malick Thiaw as both clubs weigh up potential defensive reinforcements, according to EPL Index.
The report indicates the two Premier League heavyweights are monitoring the German centre-back's situation at St James' Park, with future recruitment plans said to be taking shape as they assess options at the back.
Details remain limited at this stage, with no concrete move confirmed and the interest described as observational for now. It's understood scouting of Thiaw forms part of broader planning rather than any imminent approach.
Newcastle will be keen to keep hold of the defender amid the growing attention from two of England's most prominent clubs, though nothing suggests talks or a transfer are close. GoalPoles will continue tracking developments as this transfer story unfolds.
