Chelsea Football Club is seemingly interested in reuniting with previous academy graduate Fikayo Tomori, who is currently playing for AC Milan.
The Blues are considering Tomori as a possible replacement for veteran defender Thiago Silva, who is anticipated to leave the club soon.
Tomori has done well in Serie A since his permanent move to AC Milan in 2021, playing an important part in the Rossoneri’s Serie A title success and impressive run to the Champions League semi-finals last season. The 25-year-old’s contract with AC Milan expires in 2027, and his current market value is £34 million.
Chelsea’s defensive problems pointed out by 16 goals conceded this season, caused the club’s administration to target Tomori for a possible summer transfer.
The Blues, who have recently invested on center-backs, regard Tomori’s maturity and experience in the physically demanding Italian league as valuable qualities in strengthening their defense.
Chelsea appears ready to pay the £34 million value with the assistance of the Todd Boehly-led connection, aligning with Tomori’s ambitions to gain a regular position in the England national squad.
The prospect of the young defender returning to his childhood club adds an intriguing dimension to Chelsea’s summer transfer intentions.
