According to Calciomercato.com, Al-Hilal are seeking reinforcements from the Italian league and has set its sights on two central defenders who are in demand. The first is Jhon Lucumí of Bologna, who is a target for Inter and especially Juventus.
The second is Tomori, who Milan consider sellable. The Englishman, formerly of Chelsea, will leave Milan and the Rossoneri, especially after failing to renew his contract which expires next year. The purchase of Mario Gila from Lazio will further push him out of the door.
Tomori’s price set
According to Saudi sources, Tomori is a concrete target for Simone Inzaghi’s side, who want to play with a three-man defence. Al-Hilal have not submitted any official offers yet, but they’re not expected to go beyond €12-13m.
Milan’s asking price for the Englishman to leave is €20m. If the player leaves Milan, he’d like to return to England, but Frank Lampard’s Coventry City have not gone beyond a simple inquiry so far (the same goes for Ruben Loftus-Cheek).
Tomori earns €3.5m net per season and was bought by Chelsea in June 2021 for €28.5m plus bonuses. To avoid a capital loss, as per Milan’s 2024-25 budget, the Rossoneri must collect a sum greater than €5.7m. He has played 214 games for the club, scoring seven goals.
