Fikayo Tomori has earned the trust and faith of Stefano Pioli and the former legendary captain of AC Milan, who is now in charge of making the mercato calls, Paolo Maldini.
The English centre-back was brought to the San Siro in January in hopes to solidify the defense and he did that by overtaking captain Alessio Romagnoli in the pecking order of the coach.
The agreement between Chelsea and AC Milan points out that a 28 million euros fee should be paid in case the Rossoneri managers want to make the player's stay permanent.
Massara and Maldini want the player to remain, but a possible discount would be appreciated. It will not be easy to reduce the price. However, Milan will try to take advantage of the good relationship with the London club.
In fact, and according to what is reported by Gazzetta dello Sport in today's edition, the Rossoneri and the Blues have always been on good terms since the Shevchenko deal that saw the Ukranian striker change the San Siro for Stamford Bridge. But that does not mean that the English club is willing to grant a discount on Tomori.
The idea is to propose 20 million euros for Chelsea to be paid immediately or use the diplomatic skills of Ivan Gazidis who knows the backgrounds and dynamics of English football transfer operations since he has worked for 9 long years at Arsenal, concludes the source.
