Italian giants to wait until end of the season to sign on-loan Chelsea star

Chelsea Transfer News: AC Milan to wait until end of season to sign Fikayo Tomori

According to news from transfer guru Fabrizio Romano, AC Milan will wait until the end of the season to sign Chelsea loanee Fikayo Tomori. Tomori has become the toast of AC Milan as his employers are lavishing praises on him. The Serie A giants have been impressed with his performances.

Despite impressing with a good start to his Chelsea career, his form fizzled out soon last season. Tomori found game time hard to come by towards the end of Frank Lampard’s reign.

With the arrival of Thiago Silva, Tomori was sidelined as Kurt Zouma and Silva were preferred ahead of the English starlet.

AC Milan came for his services in January and took him on loan until the end of this season.

However, they hold a €28m to-buy clause, which they can choose to exercise at the end of the season. Chelsea are said to be regretting the decision to loan him out.

The stance from Milan is clear. They are impressed with his performances and want to sign him on a permanent deal. However, they will wait until the end of the season, which is in May, to finalize their decision. Chelsea want the full amount specified, failing which he will return to the club.

It looks very likely that Tomori has no future at Chelsea if he returns from Milan.

With his impressive showings for the Italian giants and the general opinion of the club officials, they are very likely to make his stay a permanent one even if they have to pay that much.
