Milan have completed the signing of Fikayo Tomori after triggering their option to buy the defender from Chelsea.
Tomori impressed after leaving Chelsea on loan in January and convinced Milan to sign him on a permanent basis. The Italian club have agreed to pay £25m plus £5m in add-ons.
The 23-year-old, who missed out on England’s Euro 2020 squad, moved to San Siro after falling down the pecking order at Chelsea last season but it was not long before he established himself in Milan’s defence. Tomori, who broke through at Chelsea’s academy, made 22 appearances in all competitions and played a key role in Stefano Pioli’s side qualifying for the Champions League.
Chelsea could look to reinvest the funds in their squad. They are interested in the Borussia Dortmund striker Erling Haaland and are tracking the Internazionale right-back Achraf Hakimi. Paris Saint-Germain are also tracking Hakimi, who is likely to move because of Inter’s financial problems.
