Earlier this week, we covered claims from Italy which stated West Ham United are in the picture to sign AC Milan’s Fikayo Tomori.
Calciomercato provide the latest and it’s encouraging for West Ham and the defender’s other interested parties.
The former Chelsea man has lost prominence at the San Siro under Paulo Fonseca and has made only six league starts this season.
It’s claimed the England international ‘can say goodbye’ to the Serie A side and return to the Premier League at the end of this season.
The report adds Milan have identified Valencia’s Yerson Mosquera, Lille’s Bafodé Diakité and Sporting’s Ousmane Diomande as potential candidates to replace Tomori.
MilanLive.it relay claims made elsewhere about the Rossoneri looking at players to replace the 26-year-old and then give their own take. This is when they mention West Ham and their interest in the centre-back.
The player has market in the Premier League, where the Hammers and Newcastle United are mentioned.
Due to dip in his performances, Milan will consider offers for him, and the report says the starting price is set at €40m. It’s worth noting an earlier report had indicated Tomori can leave for less than the €30m requested by Milan in the summer window.
West Ham can take advantage of Milan’s openness to parting ways with Tomori to sign him for a lower price.
