‘Absolute bargain’, ‘We will buy you for 100m’ – Milan and Chelsea fact react to Tomori signing

By Oliver Fisher -

The news that Fikayo Tomori has signed for AC Milan on a permanent basis has attracted an outpouring of mixed emotions from fans.

A statement on the club’s official website announced that Milan have indeed exercised the option to make the initial loan move of Oluwafikayomi Oluwadamilola Tomori from Chelsea into a permanent deal.

The English defender made 22 appearances after arriving in January and scored one goal away at Juventus, having made an excellent impact since his arrival by forming a formidable centre-back pairing with Simon Kjaer. He has signed a four-year deal until 30 June 2025.

Having been with Chelsea for 16 years and graduating from the academy, it has caused some Blues fans to feel a bit disappointed they have lost such a talented young defender. Below are some of the reactions of fans on Twitter to the news…

@LuzRossonero: “We all noticed since your very first match in Bologna that you had that very special approach which we define as “è uno da MILAN”. That’s why we were all looking forward to your final signing. Thank you Fikayo, we’ll always be on your side, we are Red & Black brothers now”
