With the summer window in the rear view mirror, the AC Milan management are beginning to think about renewals.
One of the names that Igli Tare and co. would like to tie down long-term is Fikayo Tomori, who has been fantastic so far this season after a difficult couple of years. He has locked down the right centre-back role, and should start against Juventus tonight too.

According to Fabrizio Romano (via Radio Rossonera), the discussion surrounding Tomori’s deal is intensifying after the situation was put on hold by the club.
“This thought is gradually intensifying. At the management level, at the staff level, everyone is happy with Fikayo Tomori’s attitude and his performances,” the journalist said in a video.
“His contract is about to become one of Milan’s priorities. It’s a long-standing discussion, and the very turbulent second half of last season slowed everything down. But Massimiliano Allegri’s Tomori is a completely different player.”
Tomori’s contract expires in 2027, and his last renewal was in the summer of 2022, just a few months after winning the Scudetto. Along with that of the former Chelsea man, the Rossoneri are also working on the contracts of Christian Pulisic and Alexis Saelemaekers, two other key men.
The way these guys run their transfer mercatos is the reason why I would push for the team to try to win something meaningful while we still have a team together. Because based on recent experience, this same team, even though it’s starting to take shape is likely not going to be around in a year or two. So while we’re here, let’s enjoy once more and hope we can win the big one., again.
