According to a report by Italian outlet Spazio Milan, Rodrigo Bentancur and Fikayo Tomori may swap clubs in the summer transfer window. The latter is the subject of interest from Tottenham Hotspur, and the Lilywhites are mulling over offering their long-serving midfielder in the deal to sign the AC Milan defender in the coming months.
Fikayo Tomori has endured a topsy-turvy ride since joining AC Milan from Chelsea in 2021. The Serie A giants signed the Englishman on an initial loan deal in January 2021 before completing a permanent move in the subsequent summer transfer window. While the player was among the best players in Serie A in his first few seasons with the Rossoneri, he has been in and out of the starting lineup in the last 12 months.
The 27-year-old has turned out over 150 times thus far for AC Milan while chipping in with seven goals and three assists. However, Tomori faces an uncertain future at San Siro heading into the summer transfer window amid his irregular game time at the Serie A club.
Recent reports have suggested AC Milan would be willing to cash in on the English defender in the summer transfer window, valuing him at around €30 million. Meanwhile, Tomori has no shortage of suitors vying for his signature heading into the summer transfer window, with Tottenham Hotspur among his prospective suitors.
Tottenham Hotspur attempted a late move for Fikayo Tomori in the winter transfer window before the deal failed to see the light of day due to the Englishman’s reluctance to join the North London outfit. The continued interest is understandable amid Cristian Romero’s links with several European bigwigs.
So, Tomori has emerged as a viable target, with Tottenham mulling over an exchange deal to land the AC Milan defender. The Lilywhites are contemplating offering Rodrigo Bentancur in the agreement to sign the €30 million-rated centre-back.
Recent reports have suggested AC Milan’s openness to a part-exchange arrangement involving Tomori. However, getting Bentancur in the deal to sell Tomori might appeal to the Serie A giants, considering they need a new midfielder in the summer transfer window. It will be interesting to see if the two 27-year-old players swap clubs this summer.
