Why Milan want to sell Fikayo Tomori

Serie A side Milan are considering selling Fikayo Tomori this winter.

According to a report by Luca Bianchin in La Gazzetta dello Sport, Milan are planning to offload Fikayo Tomori to Juventus this winter transfer window. The Bianconeri have registered a strong interest in the player and want to land another defender from Milan after signing Pierre Kalulu last summer.

The Rossoneri are ready to sell Tomori because of the potential €25 million they would generate from the proceedings. The Milan hierarchy sees this amount as significant for bringing new additions to other departments like the midfield and the full-back positions.

Paulo Fonseca has rotated his defence well with Tomori, Malick Thiaw, Matteo Gabbia and Strahinja Pavlović. Therefore, he should not face any problems with the 27-year-old out of the picture. This is the Englishman’s fifth season with Milan and he has already played over 1000 minutes with a highly rotational defensive side.
