AC Milan seriously considering a permanent deal for young Chelsea star

AC Milan seriously considering a permanent Fikayo Tomori deal

According to Sempre Milan (h/t Football.london), AC Milan are seriously considering signing Chelsea loanee Fikayo Tomori on a permanent deal. 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 towards the end of Frank Lampard’s reign. 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 until the end of this season. However, they hold a £24.5m 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. Milan director Paolo Maldini is seriously considering a permanent move for Tomori after describing the Chelsea man as the only positive winter signing.

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.
