Chelsea do not have a buy-back clause inserted in the deal that saw Fikayo Tomori join AC Milan last summer, according to Fabrizio Romano.

Tomori joined Milan on an initial loan deal during the 2021 winter transfer window and he impressed so much that the Rossoneri exercised their option to make it permanent for a fee close to €30m, and now he has established himself as one of the best defenders in Serie A.
Fabrizio Romano in his exclusive column for CaughtOffside speaks to some bad business from the old Chelsea board because although there is a buy-back on Tammy Abraham, there is no such clause in Tomori’s contract.
“As I mentioned recently, Chelsea have a buy-back clause for Tammy Abraham, but what about another of their former players who is performing so well in Italy right now?” Romano said.
“Unfortunately, Chelsea fans, there’s no buy-back clause included in the Fikayo Tomori deal. Of course, it wasn’t the current board that sanctioned this deal, and I think people from the old board should regret the decision of selling Tomori on loan with buy option.
“He’s an amazing player, so impressive with Milan, and I’m sure he’ll be great for many years to come.”
Tomori will get another opportunity to show his old club that they made a mistake in letting him go when Milan welcome Chelsea to the San Siro tonight, but the Englishman will have to put in a better showing than in the first fixture last week.
