According to DAZN (h/t Metro), AC Milan have revealed that they have a high chance of signing on-loan Chelsea defender Fikayo Tomori on a permanent basis.
The Serie A giants have been impressed with his performances since arriving on loan in January and are contemplating a permanent deal.
Despite impressing with a good start to his Chelsea career, his form fizzled out soon last season. Tomori found game time hard to come by under the latter days of Frank Lampard. With the arrival of Thiago Silva, Tomori was sidelined as Kurt Zouma was preferred ahead of the English starlet.
AC Milan came for his services in January and took him on loan till the end of this season. However, they hold a £26m to-buy clause which they can choose to exercise at the end of the season. Tomori has impressed massively for the Milan giants and it looks very likely that he could make the move permanent in the summer.
AC Milan’s Sporting Director Frederic Massara spoke about signing the Chelsea academy graduate on a permanent deal.
“The boy has proved to be strong, he integrated well. We are convinced of his qualities, there is a very high option to buy and we will evaluate whether to go on but we are very satisfied with his impact so far and we are happy to have him with us.:
New manager Thomas Tuchel has mostly used the likes of Thiago Silva, Andreas Christensen, Antonio Rudiger and Cesar Azpilicueta at centre-back. It looks very likely that Tomori has no future at Chelsea if he returns from Milan. With his impressive showings for Milan and the general opinion of the club officials, they are also very likely to make his stay a permanent one.
