GdS: Walker, a centre-back and a striker – how Milan will reinvest Tomori proceeds | OneFootball

AC Milan are in advanced negotiations with Juventus over Fikayo Tomori and according to a report, they could use the money to sign a striker, a centre-back, a right-back and potentially a midfielder.

According to today’s edition of Gazzetta dello Sport (see photo below), Milan are ready to sell Tomori to Juventus and then use the funds on the mercato. Not only Kyle Walker, but also a striker who guarantees goals and a centre-back.

Furthermore, a midfielder could also be brought in as Ismael Bennacer has failed to impress since returning, while Ruben Loftus-Cheek has been struggling with injuries. Indeed, the defeat against Juventus last night at the very least made it clear that reinforcements are necessary.

Green light to Juventus

In the next few hours, between today and tomorrow, there could be decisive developments for Tomori to Juventus. The latter want him on loan with an obligation to buy at €25m plus bonuses, while the Rossoneri would like it to be €30m thanks to ‘easy’ bonuses.

An important word on the matter will also be given by Tomori himself, who is happy in Milan and must give the green light to the transfer. This could be an obstacle, even if he could reunite with his ‘Scudetto partner’ Pierre Kalulu in the heart of Juve’s defence.

Walker in 48 hours

The defender is currently in talks with Man City to get the green light to fly to Italy. He would like to be in Milan by tomorrow evening, perhaps to undergo the medical tests on Tuesday, and Zlatan Ibrahimovic has given his approval to the signing.

The operation should be a paid loan of €1m with an option to buy at €5m, with Walker also willing to lower his salary for the coming six months to make the deal happen. Milan want him both for the right-back and centre-back role, it should be noted.

Another centre-back

Milan would like to focus on Matteo Gabbia and Malick Thiaw as the starters, with Strahinja Pavlovic and Walker as alternatives. However, one more centre-back would ‘complete’ the squad in the eyes of the management and Antonio Silva is one of the targets.

However, Benfica aren’t willing to sell him and have already rejected an offer from Juventus. Geoffrey Moncada is thus scanning the market for a fast centre-back who can adapt to Sergio Conceicao’s football. The priority is the attack, though, where all money from Tomori will be invested.

Joao Felix

It’s no secret that Conceicao likes Joao Felix. He was the one who suggested his name to the management. It remains to be seen whether Chelsea will accept Milan’s formula (loan with option to buy) because the Portuguese, who cost €52m last summer, cannot be purchased outright. T

Felix remains a hot lead that Milan will continue to work on. In the meantime, the former Udinese man Beto has been offered to the Rossoneri, but they are not convinced. In short, the coming days could be lively on the mercato.
