AC Milan are reportedly keen to sign Chelsea centre-back Fikayo Tomori on loan and want to include a £27m option to make the move permanent.

The 23-year-old has struggled for action during the 2020-21 campaign, making just four appearances at club level, with just one of those outings coming in the Premier League.

Blues boss Frank Lampard recently suggested that Tomori could leave on loan this month but insisted that the Englishman had a long-term future at Stamford Bridge.

According to the Daily Mail, Milan are in talks over a loan switch for the defender, who is keen to move to Italy to further his development.

However, the report claims that the Serie A giants are attempting to agree a future purchase option, with a £27m fee already being discussed between the two clubs.

Tomori has found it difficult to even make the bench in the Premier League this season, while he was only a late substitute against Morecambe in the FA Cup last weekend.
