Manchester United Interested in AC Milan’s Fikayo Tomori
Manchester United is reportedly ready to intensify their pursuit of AC Milan’s Fikayo Tomori, valuing the centre-back at around €40 million (£34m).
Defensive Options for Manchester United
The Red Devils are currently facing limited defensive options due to injuries to key centre-backs Harry Maguire and Lisandro Martinez. Although Raphael Varane returned to the starting XI in their recent match against Bayern Munich, his future at the club remains uncertain.
Potential Departure of Varane
According to reports in The Guardian, Manchester United would consider selling Varane in January, with Bayern Munich and Saudi Arabia being potential destinations. If Varane departs, United is expected to seek a replacement, with Fikayo Tomori high on their wishlist, as reported by Italian outlet MilanWeb.
Tomori’s Impressive Performances
Since joining Milan in 2021, Tomori has been a crucial player in the heart of their defense, making over 100 appearances for the Italian giants in all competitions. His latest standout performance came in the Champions League, where Milan secured third spot in Group F with a 2-1 victory over Newcastle.
Interest from Manchester United
Tomori’s impressive performances have caught the attention of the senior hierarchy at Old Trafford. However, it is unlikely that Milan will be willing to part with one of their prized assets during the season, with a potential move over the summer being more likely.
Manchester United’s Potential Player Departures
In the upcoming transfer window, Manchester United is open to offloading players such as Casemiro, Jadon Sancho, Anthony Martial, and Donny van de Beek. Casemiro has reportedly attracted interest from Paris Saint-Germain, while Van de Beek seems to be closing in on a move to Eintracht Frankfurt.
