If there’s one story dominating the Milan news sphere these days other than Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s recent injury, it’s the future of Fikayo Tomori.
Currently at the Serie A club on loan, the Chelsea defender has hugely impressed since his arrival, to the point where everyone seems to be in agreement: the move should be made permanent.
Milan already have a fee of €28m arranged with the Blues, which they reportedly see as a bit high, but it’s fair to say that with every game played, Tomori’s stock increases.
That’s why Gazzetta dello Sport explain the idea of buying him permanently is ‘taking form’, and if they do trigger the clause, that leaves Alessio Romagnoli as the likely sacrificial lamb.
The beauty in all this, at least in the newspaper’s eyes, is that Milan’s road to Tomori is clear, since it’s all pre-agreed.
It really does seem like this could happen, but we thought that with Tiemoué Bakayoko too at the time, so it really all depends on whether the Italians will readily cough up the cash when the time comes.
