Serie A club AC Milan is preparing to part ways with Fikayo Tomori after he was left out of the squad for today’s match against Chelsea. This decision aligns with the strategy of head coach Ruben Amorim, who also omitted Youssouf Fofana from the team, indicating both players no longer fit into the Rossoneri’s plans.

Daniele Longo has reported that Amorim is in search of a centre-back with strong ball skills and believes Tomori does not meet these criteria. His departure will allow Milan to allocate funds for the right replacement.

Currently, Milan values Tomori at approximately €15 million. Discussions with his agent are expected to commence soon to facilitate his move to a new club, with Coventry City and Newcastle United having expressed preliminary interest.

In response to Tomori’s exit, Jhon Lucumi is a potential replacement being considered, although he is also being targeted by Juventus.

Serie A side Milan are now expected to part ways with Fikayo Tomori, with the player having been excluded from the side against Chelsea earlier today.

Daniele Longo has reported that this was based on a decision by Ruben Amorim, who also kept Youssouf Fofana out of the squad. Like the Frenchman, the Englishman is also considered to be outside the Rossoneri project.

Amorim currently seeks a centre-back who is very good on the ball and feels Tomori doesn’t fit the need. His exit will free up the finds to find the right player.

Milan value Tomori at around €15 million. Soon, discussions will be held with his agent to make it clear that the player needs to find a new destination, with Coventry City and Newcastle United having made initial enquiries without delving into too many details.

Jhon Lucumi could be a replacement for Tomori, even if the Colombian is currently being pursued by Juventus.
