Summary
- Newcastle United has reportedly submitted a €15 million bid for AC Milan defender Fikayo Tomori.
- AC Milan values Fikayo Tomori at €20 million, with a €5 million gap to bridge.
- Fikayo Tomori is reportedly open to leaving Milan and agreeing personal terms with Newcastle.
Newcastle United has reportedly taken a significant step in their pursuit of AC Milan defender Fikayo Tomori, submitting an initial offer of €15 million. This move indicates Eddie Howe's continued focus on strengthening the team's defense with experienced players before the transfer window closes.
AC Milan is currently evaluating the bid but considers it lower than their valuation of €20 million, including potential bonuses. The Italian club is reportedly not eager to sell Tomori, but the €5 million difference between the clubs' valuations suggests a compromise could be reached if Newcastle maintains its interest.
Adding to the prospect of a transfer, Fikayo Tomori is rumored to be receptive to leaving Milan due to a reduced role. Reports suggest that agreeing on personal terms with Newcastle would not be an obstacle if the clubs can finalize a transfer fee. Tomori brings valuable Premier League and European experience, having made over 200 appearances for Milan since 2021.
