Overview
- Rúben Amorim did not use Fikayo Tomori or Youssouf Fofana in the Milan matchday involvement against Chelsea, with both players receiving zero minutes.
- AC Milan have placed reported minimum asking prices on the pair, valuing Tomori at about €15 million and Fofana at about €20 million, and plan to speak with their agents to find transfer solutions.
- Reports link several English clubs with interest in Tomori, including Coventry and Newcastle, while Juventus are tracking him as an option and Crystal Palace and Marseille have been named as potential suitors for Fofana.
- The move follows Amorim’s preseason assessment that the squad is too large and that he must discard players who do not fit his tactical plan, a step Milan see as necessary before buying replacements.
- Expect Milan to step up outgoing transfer talks in the coming days as they try to sell the two players to free roster space and adjust to Amorim’s system, and the transfers will determine whether Milan can fund any incoming signings.
