Fikayo Tomori’s status at AC Milan has become a topic of discussion in recent months, as the English defender finds himself in an unfamiliar position under new manager Paulo Fonseca. Since an incident in Florence where Tomori passed the ball to Abraham instead of designated penalty taker Pulisic, he has been benched for three out of four matches across Serie A and Champions League competitions.
Calciomercato report how this situation is unprecedented for Tomori, who had never faced such scrutiny in his previous four seasons with the Rossoneri. The defender’s dip in form, which began towards the end of last season, has contributed to his current predicament.
Despite these challenges, Tomori is likely to start in Milan’s crucial Champions League match against Real Madrid at the Bernabeu. Fonseca is expected to rely on experienced players for this important fixture, with Tomori favored over Pavlovic in defense. This match could serve as a pivotal opportunity for the English center-back to reestablish his position in the team and potentially shape his future at the club.
Looking ahead, there are indications that Tomori’s time at Milan could come to an end next summer. While rumors of interest from Juventus have circulated, these remain unconfirmed. A return to the Premier League, where Tomori has several admirers, seems more likely. Milan is open to selling the defender, but only for a significant offer exceeding 20 million euros.
