Chelsea Transfer News: Fikayo Tomori holds talks with Paolo Maldini over permanent transfer
According to transfer news from Daily Mail, on-loan Chelsea star Fikayo Tomori has held talks with Paolo Madini over a permanent transfer. Tomori has held talks with the Milan legend who is their technical director and Frederic Massara who is their sporting director with a view to make his loan deal permanent.
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. 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 and Silva were 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 £25million to-buy clause, which they can choose to exercise at the end of the season.
The stance from Milan is clear. They are impressed with his performances and want to sign him on a permanent deal. It has been reported that Tomori has held talks about his future with both Madini and Massara. Both the directors are huge fans of the English defender too and have to convince the board to sanction a permanent deal.

It looks very likely that Tomori has no future at Chelsea if he returns from Milan. With his impressive showings for the Italian giants and the general opinion of the club officials, they are very likely to make his stay a permanent one, even if they have to pay that much.
