Chelsea make decision about signing powerhouse after board offered deal

CHELSEA will only consider re-signing Fikayo Tomori from AC Milan this month, if any current defenders leave Stamford Bridge over the next few weeks.

The 27-year-old defender, who progressed through Chelsea’s youth ranks, had struggled to secure a permanent place in their senior squad before being sold to the Serie A giants in 2021.

Tomori enjoyed a very good start to life at the Italian side and quickly become a player that they could really rely on, and developed into a top defender over the past few seasons.

However, recent developments at AC Milan suggest a potential return to Stamford Bridge might be on the cards, according to journalist Sacha Tavolieri in his column for Sky Sport CH.

Tomori’s dissatisfaction at AC Milan stems from a lack of regular game time. In the last ten Serie A matches, the centre-back has managed only 13 minutes on the field. This reduced role has left him questioning his future at the club.

Moreover, the uncertainty surrounding Milan’s squad intensified after the sacking of former manager Paulo Fonseca. New head coach Sergio Conceição’s arrival has left multiple players, including Tomori, uncertain about their place in the team and these circumstances have prompted the English defender to consider a move back to the Premier League.

That led to many reports in the media which have claimed that Tomori has been offered back to Chelsea this month, but the Blues will only make a move for the 27-year-old if any current defenders leave Stamford Bridge, with France international Axel Disasi being linked with a move away from west London.

While Chelsea are not currently pursuing Tomori, Juventus are reportedly interested in securing his signature.

It has been a shock to see that Tomori may be leaving Milan, he seemed very happy before the start of this season, if he does leave, it will be interesting to see where he ends up.

CHELSEA may feel that Tomori is not worth taking a risk on as they prefer to sign players with a maximum age of 25, so we cant see this deal happening
