AC Milan's starting defender next to Simon Kjaer is Chelsea's loanee Fikayo Tomori who arrived on loan with an option to buy. The Italian club managers are willing to keep the player because they are satisfied with his progress.
The buy-option agreed upon by both parties is 28 million euros. There have been attempts to convince Chelsea to give a small discount have not been fruitful so far. However, that did not make Paolo Maldini reluctant to keep the player because he knows the qualities and valuable addition Fikayo brings to the team.
Maldini and Massara are ready to make the next move in the process of building the squad in view of next season and bring the player back home.
Another deal that involves Chelsea is also their striker Olivier Giroud. However, the player's contract with them expires soon and Milan will enter the final stage of signing him soon, reports Calciomercato.com.
