A possible sale by the Rossoneri club seems to be ruled out, Conceicao has decided to target the player: the latest news.
These days Milan has been busy in Saudi Arabia for the Italian Super Cup, and upon returning to Italy the club will focus more on the soccer market. One or two new faces should arrive at Milanello by the end of January, but departures should also occur.

As we have been saying for months, two players the club expects to give up during this month are Fodé Ballo-Touré and Divock Origi, who are totally out of the project and excluded from the First Team lists. The hope is that they will accept one of the proposals, unlike what happened during the last summer market. But they are not the only ones who could be sold. Players like Noah Okafor, Samuel Chukwueze and Luka Jovic are by no means untouchable.
Calciomercato Milan, niente addio: resta in rossonero
One name that has been often mentioned in recent weeks is Fikayo Tomori, who ended up in the crosshairs of Juventus and a number of Premier League clubs. Disgruntled to have become a reserve under Paulo Fonseca, he then returned as a starter with the arrival of Sergio Conceicao on the bench. His prospects in a Rossoneri shirt seem to have changed with the new coach.

Conceicao has confidence in Tomori and there will be no transfer in this winter soccer market window. By the way, AC Milan values his tag at least 30 million euros and no such offer has arrived. Juve wanted to replicate the operation done for Pierre Kalulu, with an onerous loan with a right of redemption, a formula that the Rossoneri management did not intend to accept. The only condition for an eventual transfer was to present an economically convincing outright proposal.
Now the former Chelsea man has regained ownership and so everything has changed. Selling him would also have meant the need to buy a replacement, since there are now four defensive midfielders. Milan’s priorities are in other roles as far as the buying campaign is concerned, Conceicao is confident that he can bring Tomori back to his best level and has made that clear to the club. Juventus will have to look elsewhere to strengthen its defense.
