AC Milan ready to cash in on Fikayo Tomori as Premier League return looms for former Chelsea ace

The countdown for the end of Fikayo Tomori's somewhat successful spell at AC Milan might have already begun with the Italian heavyweights ready to offload the English centre-back next summer, according to Calciomercato. A return to the Premier League for the former Chelsea man could be on the cards.

Tomori was crucial in helping Milan win the Scudetto in the 2021-22 season. However, the soon to-be 27-year-old has lost his status as a starter under Paulo Fonseca in recent weeks. Such a situation has necessitated further evaluations of the player's future at the club, and Milan are increasingly leaning towards the possibility of offloading the Englishman next summer.

Calciomercato, in the same report, also revealed the names of three centre-backs who Milan's scouting department are keeping an eye on over a possible transfer next summer. They are Valencia's Cristhian Mosquera, Lille's Batode Diakite, and Sporting CP's Ivorian centre-back Ousmane Diamonde.

After swatting aside Sassuolo 6-1 in the Coppa Italia Round of 16, Milan have a busy schedule in the coming weeks. They will face Atalanta on Friday, December 6, followed by a crucial Champions League fixture against Crvena zvezda next Wednesday, December 11.
