AC Milan defender Fikayo Tomori has opened up on his future at the Serie A club following speculation linking him with a return to the Premier League.
Tomori is into his fifth season at AC Milan following his departure from Chelsea in 2021. Having spent half-a-season on-loan at the Serie A giants during the 2021/22 campaign, Tomori moved to Italy on a permanent basis that summer and has made over 150 appearances during his time at the San Siro.
However, throughout his spell in Italy, the five-cap England international has been strongly-linked with a return to the Premier League with Newcastle United among those linked with an interest in him. Such speculation returned to the headlines in January, with Football Insider reporting that the Magpies had ‘reignited’ their interest in the 27-year-old.
A failed move for Marc Guehi last summer has seen Newcastle linked with a plethora of central defenders with that position set to be strengthened when the summer transfer window opens. Tomori, though, likely doesn’t fit the profile of player the Magpies will target this summer, with a younger option set to be something they look for in the market.
Whilst speculation over Tomori’s future cropped up last month and will likely again this summer, he has recently looked to play down reports of him leaving the San Siro. Speaking ahead of Milan’s Champions League play-off second-leg match against Feyenoord, one that Milan head into 1-0 down, Tomori said: “I’ve always said I feel at home here, and nothing has changed.
“I know there are clubs and people who talk during every transfer window, but I was and still am focused on what I must do, stay here.
