According to Italian outlet Milan Web, Man Utd could make a move to sign AC Milan defender Fikayo Tomori next year.
Tomori joined Milan from Chelsea in January 2021 on loan and he was purchased at the end of the campaign. The Englishman has made 127 appearances for the Serie A giants over the past few years but there are claims that he could leave the club next summer.
Milan Web claims that Stefano Pioli’s squad may be willing to sacrifice the former Chelsea star if they earn a sum of at least £34 million from one of his pursuers. The Rossoneri need to cash in on players to raise funds at the end of the season.
The same source also states that Man United is keen to sign the 25-year-old and that they may step up their pressure in the upcoming months. With a sizable compensation package, United could be able to convince the center back to return to England.
Good player
Tomori was considered as one of the best upcoming centre-backs during his time at Chelsea but he decided to move on after he became out-of-favour under manager Frank Lampard. It has proved the right decision for his playing career.
He had a stuttering start with the Rossoneri in the Italian top-flight but over the last few seasons, he has become one of the most consistent figures and is now one of the first names on the team sheet for the 2021/22 Serie A champions.
The Englishman fits manager Erik ten Hag’s ideal type of player, thus he would be a wonderful addition to United. He enjoys making tackles and winning aerial battles, and he is powerful with the ball at his feet. At the back, he is physically present.
He is only 25 years old and in the height of his career; he would make a wise investment for long-term success. Given that Tomori would have the chance to establish himself in the Premier League with a different team, he might possibly be interested in the transfer.
