Transfer News: Chelsea want full £26m for Fikayo Tomori sale

According to transfer news from Daily Mail, Chelsea will demand that AC Milan pay the full £26m if they want to sign Fikayo Tomori on a permanent deal.

Tomori has become the toast of AC Milan as his employers are lavishing praises on him. The Serie A giants have been impressed with his performances since arriving on loan in January.

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 £26m to-buy clause, which they can choose to exercise at the end of the season. Chelsea are said to be wanting the full amount for Tomori and won’t back down on the deal.

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.
