According to Italian soccer transfer specialist Matteo Moretto
AC Milan (football club)
Consideration is being given to the sale of German center back Marco
Jaffe (name)
. Despite being recognized for his performance with the team, AC Milan is willing to listen to outside offers for Gav due to the team's financial strategy and the need to restructure its roster.
AC Milan are said to be asking for no less than €30 million for Jaffe. The German center back made 30 solid appearances for AC Milan in the 2023-24 season and made his debut for the German national team last year. However, with his contract entering its final year, AC Milan may need to consider selling Gaffer to avoid the player leaving the club on a free.
Newcastle United have asked AC Milan about Gaffer, showing their interest in the 22-year-old center back. Newcastle United are looking to strengthen their defense and Gaffer's youth and potential could fit into their long-term plans. Moretto noted that while Juventus center back Federico Wyson is not currently in Newcastle's plans, Giafoe is certainly on their radar.
Moretto has valued Giafoe at around €30 to €35 million, a price point that reflects his market value and potential. Since moving to AC Milan from Schalke 04 in the summer of 2022, Jaffe has become an important part of the team's back four. Although he was dropped from Germany's squad for Euro 2024, his debut for the national team and subsequent performances in the tournament still proved his mettle.
It remains to be seen how AC Milan will handle Yoshio's future and whether they will receive an offer that meets their expectations. For Yoshio himself, he may need to consider his career path and whether he can continue to grow and progress in a new environment.
