Fikayo Tomori re-joined training with his AC Milan teammates today and the defender’s situation has been analysed by mercato experts.

It is well known now that Tomori returned to the Milan squad due to their lack of an additional defender signing. Had they made another move in the mercato, maybe the Englishman wouldn’t have seen as much reason to stay and gamble on being re-introduced.

Nevertheless, they didn’t and his gamble paid off. Not even 48 hours after the mercato closed, he was brought back into training and the defender is also likely to be named in the squad list for the Europa League.

Tomori’s situation

Fabrizio Romano began the conversation about the central defender, speaking about the image of Ruben Amorim shaking the Englishman’s hand in training today, as MilanNews relays.

“The player was on the move throughout the summer transfer window, practically from June until Ruben Amorim’s arrival. This morning, the final confirmation of what we said at the end of the last transfer window arrived.

“We saw Tomori again in training: a handshake with Amorim, smiles… In short, things seem to be back to normal between the defender and AC Milan, but that’s a direct consequence of this transfer window.”

Then, his colleague Matteo Moretto added some information about the future. After all, his contract expires next summer, so it cannot be ignored like an elephant in the room…

“es, it’s a consequence, certainly. But I would look at what could happen now: it’s true that Tomori is back at Milan’s disposal and is once again a player 100% focused on his official Rossoneri commitments, but his contract expires in 2027.

“I think it’s difficult to predict a possible renewal after all the turmoil at the end of this transfer window. Meanwhile, the news is that a player who has made Milan’s recent history, winning a Scudetto and making numerous appearances for the Rossoneri, is back at the club’s disposal.”
