Ruben Amorim has made a decision regarding Fikayo Tomori, the 28-year-old English defender, and Youssouf Fofana, the 27-year-old French midfielder: AC Milan puts them on the transfer market and is willing to listen to offers for both during this transfer window. The Italian club is asking for at least 15 million euros for the defender and around 20 million for the midfielder.

The situation became even more exposed during the preparation for the new season. Amorim had warned that he needed to trim a squad that was too extensive and that he would communicate in the following days which players would continue to be part of his plans.

Ruben Amorim opens the door to Fikayo Tomori's departure

One of the cases that AC Milan wants to resolve is that of Fikayo Tomori. The defender is entering the final year of his contract, which expires on June 30, 2027, a circumstance that limits the club's flexibility to delay a decision about his future.

Milan values him between 15 and 20 million euros. Newcastle already submitted an offer around 15 million this summer, while Coventry also explored the signing of the English international.

However, Tomori declined to move forward with Coventry. Newcastle holds a different context due to their financial capacity and participation in the Premier League, although they would still need to meet the conditions set by the Italian club.

Tomori's departure would allow Ruben Amorim to free up a spot in the center of defense to bring in another profile. The Portuguese coach aims to add a center-back with the ability to build up play from the back and the experience to take on an important role in his system.

Youssouf Fofana could also leave AC Milan

The second case is that of Youssouf Fofana, whose contract runs until 2028. The Frenchman played 33 Serie A matches last season, scoring two goals and providing three assists, but his continuity is not guaranteed.

Crystal Palace has inquired about his situation and is among the clubs interested in taking him to England. Milan aims to recoup at least the approximately 20 million euros it invested when they signed him from Monaco in 2024.

Fofana also aims to have regular playing time in the 2026/27 season. His position in Amorim's planning is under review, and a proposal meeting the club's valuation could lead to his departure before the market closes.

Seeking a more streamlined squad

This move is part of a broader squad reduction. Ruben Amorim acknowledged before the latest friendly matches that the number of available players necessitated decisions, and the sports management is now working to find destinations for those with fewer opportunities. Additionally, Amorim's plan is to sign a new center-back, Gonçalo Inacio is highly discussed.

Therefore, the upcoming weeks will be marked by negotiations with English clubs. Fikayo Tomori may depart if an offer of at least 15 million arrives, while the benchmark for Youssouf Fofana stands around 20 million. Ruben Amorim hopes that these operations will allow Milan to free up space before making new moves in the squad.
