Chelsea: Tuchel hits out at new Champions League format
Chelsea defender Fikayo Tomori has largely impressed on loan at AC Milan this season and the Italian giants are keen to make the move a permanent one this summer. The 23-year-old joined Milan in January and has made 12 Serie A appearances so far.
Milan do have an option to buy Tomori for £25m at the end of the current campaign but they have been hoping Chelsea would be willing to negotiate a lower fee.
According to Sky Sport Italia, Milan's technical director Paolo Maldini and sporting director Frederic Massara met with Tomori on Wednesday to talk about his future.
The report also states that Chelsea are unwilling to sell the player for less than the £25m option Milan already have, meaning they will have to pay that figure if they want to keep Tomori at the San Siro.
Milan boss Stefano Pioli recently confirmed that the club was keen to sign him permanently.
