AC Milan signed Fikayo Tomori from Chelsea in January to strengthen the attack and add depth. He came to Milanello and impressed the coaching staff and managers with his physical strength, speed, and reading of the game. That is why Maldini wants to keep him permanently at the San Siro.
To allow the move from Cobham to Milanello, Chelsea want the 28 million euros of the buy-option to be paid in full amount. That means, despite the Rossoneri's attempt, there will be no discounts given.
The transfer should go through anyways, Maldini and Massara are working to keep the English centre-back and thus, Milan will pay the fee necessary.
In fact, in a few days, by the beginning of next week, the official announcement could come. A 5-year-contract is ready to be signed for Tomori.
