Fikayo Tomori has been mentioned as the main target for Juventus in the last week or so, with the Bianconeri looking to strengthen the defence. However, as per various reports, they could abandon the pursuit to focus on a Newcastle defender. 

Towards the end of Paulo Fonseca’s tenure, Tomori found himself on the bench a lot and this naturally sparked exit rumours. However, since Sergio Conceicao’s arrival, he has played every single game from start and he also appears to be happy at the club.

It’s not exactly surprising that rumours linking him with a €30m move to Juventus have frustrated the Rossoneri fans. After all, Pierre Kalulu made the same move in the summer and it reinforced the Bianconeri more so than it helped Milan.

According to Gianluca Di Marzio (via MilanNews) and Daniele Longo, Milan fans might not have to worry anymore as Juventus have set their sights on Newcastle’s Lloyd Kelly. Tomori’s unwillingness to move has forced the Bianconeri to reevaluate the situation and the English side are open to a sale.

Di Marzio states that they have slapped an initial price tag of €30m on Kelly, but Longo reports that a transfer could be closed at €15m. In any case, it seems it would be cheaper than going for Tomori.

  1. €30m on Kelly, but Longo reports that a transfer could be closed at €15m. In any case, it seems it would be cheaper than going for tomorrow.

    Tomori you meant

    1. It is tomorrow, because if they don’t sell him today, in winter, then he will be sold in summer which is tomorrow.
      In season when Milan reached semi finals of ucl club had 120 million of revenue from ucl success plus ticket revenue.
      Last year it was around 66 million of revenue from UCL, but they gain around 46 million from Tonali capital gain.

      So it’s easy to calculate how much they need money in 2025 / 2026 to cover loss from loosing revenue by not playing in champions league competition.

      Let’s assume Milan will gain again around 60 – 70 million from ucl this season. Plus they gain from Italian supercoppa, plus they loaned some players like adli, pobega Saelemaekers and some small sales, that’s approx 10 million of capital gain. In total that’s 90 million of revenue for those year.

      Next season Milan must find at least around 100 million of euros by not competing in ucl league.
      Part of that they can gain by De Ketelaere sales which will be shown in next season billing. Permanent sale of Adli, Saelemakers, Pobega, Colombo, and Kalulu. But still they will missing around 50 million of capital gain.
      If they reach uefa europa league they can gain around 15 – 20 million. But sale of one star seems like imminent, like Napoli sold Kvarat in January.
      From 30 million sale of Tomori capital gain is 20 million. Those 20 is missing piece in this equation…

      Tomorrow Tomori.

    why do we ever do deals with Juve? Pirlo, Kalulu on their side while we got Bonucci and Caldara…

  4. Botman went off injured at half-time on Saturday. He’s only played 3 games this season. Hopefully Newcastle tell Juve to get lost. Tomori out.
