Fikayo Tomori is open to a move back to the Premier League, and there is one team currently leading the race to land him.
According to Football Insider, it is Newcastle United that are the current frontrunners among the English sides that want to sign Tomori. That is according to former Everton chief executive Keith Wyness, who things the centre-back is ‘open to a move to St James’ Park’.

Milan are willing to sell the 28-year-old this summer, both because of the fact that his contract is expiring in June 2027 but also because Mario Gila has arrived to take the spot on the right side of the three-man defence.
Newcastle have the money to make the move given that they have sold Anthony Gordon and Sandro Tonali for big money. They ‘face a battle to sign Tomori from Coventry City’, but Wyness has no doubt that they are leading the charge at the moment.
“Well, I think Newcastle are probably favourites at the moment, but don’t underestimate that Lampard personal connection. Tomori certainly fancies himself as being above a Coventry situation though,” Wyness said.
“I think he’s got this feeling that Newcastle could be the home. They’re desperate to get some names and show the fans that they’re doing something, and Tomori could be the right financial structure for them to get him on board.
“I’ve got a feeling that the ego and his positioning of himself feel he should go to Newcastle, where he could become a hero. So let’s see how that pans out. It’s between those two (clubs). I think Newcastle will have to probably slightly overpay.”
Wyness also revealed to Football Insider last week that Frank Lampard is ‘working really hard’ to convince Tomori to reunite with him Coventry, with the pair having worked together at Derby and Chelsea.

Milan treba plusvalenzu od igraca a ne prodati samo radi prodaje.
I Tomori I Loftus Cheek I Leao su pod growth decree. To znači da svaka kupovina zamjene za njih bi koštala astronomske iznose u odnosu na njih.
Prodati Leaa za 30 milijuna samo kako bi ga se riješilo bilo bi kao pucanje sebi u nogu. Leao ae mora prodati za najmanje 60 do 70 milijuna ili zadrzati.
S obzirom na nastalu situaciju isto vrijedi za Tomoria Loftusa I slične. Tomori prodaja ispod 30 milijuna sa 20 do 25 milijuna plusvalenze je gubitak za Milan. Kao I Loftusa za 15 najmanje.
A ko uopste prica o tome da Leao treba da ode za 30 miliona? Naravno da ga ne bih prodao za manje od 60. Ko ce ti dati 30+ miliona za Tomorija, realno? I te zamene mogu da budu pod “growth decree”, zar ne? Nisam siguran kako to tacno funkcionise.
