While we know they can be repetitive and quite boring, the updates on the Fikayo Tomori situation need to be passed on.
After all, the deal has been in the making since he moved from Chelsea to Milan, and while there is a fixed price of €28m in the deal, the Italians are being themselves and looking to shave off a few pennies.
Gazzetta dello Sport are the only ones providing some information on Friday, with it stated ‘numerous contacts’ took place on Thursday regarding the deal, with it attempted to ‘find the right formula to make the two clubs agree’.
Milan are ‘hoping to lower the €28m fixed price’, perhaps by sorting out a ‘more favourable’ option for the Roman Abramovich owned club, as the fee is currently to be paid over three years.
For those worried this might fall through, there’s little to no fear in Italy as it’s been made rather clear that if nothing can be worked out, Milan will simply pay the Stamford Bridge side the pre-agreed money.
That’s why those in charge at Milan continue to have ‘optimism’ about the whole thing, and ‘everything is going towards ‘the redemption of the Chelsea defender’.
