On Wednesday, we covered the latest on Milan’s reported interest in Fikayo Tomori, currently pushed to one side at Chelsea.
The centre-back is in need of regular game time in order to continue his development, and a loan somewhere would be ideal.
While there are a number of Premier League clubs interested, the player was said, according to Corriere dello Sport yesterday, to have a preference for Milan, ‘intent’ on making the move happen to experience six months in Italy.
Gazzetta dello Sport, to give some background information on the player for Serie A fans have a profile on him on Thursday, explaining Tomori is far from the finished product.
For them, if he wants to have a ‘high-level future’, he ‘must grow quickly’ in his ‘readings and movements’ on the pitch.
That’s why they are pushing for a move to Italy, as a ‘leap’ in Serie A ‘could help him’ in that regard.
He fits exactly what Milan are looking for on the transfer market since he is a ‘young footballer, with room for growth’, adding a ‘non-prohibitive salary and a low cost’, since he would be on loan.
At this point, it appears there is a desire to get something done, although it appears they would want it to be for as cheap as possible.
It helps both parties, as Milan need depth in the role, and the injury to Mohamed Simakan has scuppered their initial plans a bit.
For Gazzetta, we now have to wait and see if he’s ‘ready’ for the expectations at Milan, but their newspaper edition do explain he would take up a non-EU spot following Brexit.
Thankfully, they have a ‘free slot’ for him should they decide to move for him.
