Aston Villa is challenging Juventus for AC Milan man | OneFootball

Fikayo Tomori is one of the players Juventus want to sign as they look to sell both Federico Gatti and Juan Cabal during this transfer window, among other defenders.

They have just completed a move for Jhon Lucumi, and they surely now have more defenders than they need, which is why they are very likely to sell. However, the Bianconeri still want more, and AC Milan have told Tomori that he can leave, which is why Juventus are keen to add him to their squad.

Tomori has been one of the top players in his role in recent seasons. He has performed well since moving to Italy and has considerable experience of Italian football, so he could do well at Juventus.

Aston Villa enter the race

However, the Bianconeri are not the only club interested in signing him. Calciomercato reports that Tomori could leave for the Premier League, where Aston Villa also want to sign him, meaning they will battle Juventus for his signature.

Aston Villa have agreed to sell Ezri Konsa to Arsenal, so they need a replacement, and Tomori is one of the finest centre-backs available. They want him to join their squad and are prepared to compete with Juventus until the end of the transfer window.

Juventus would see Tomori as a valuable addition to their defence, particularly given his experience in Italian football. However, the club may need to complete further departures before making room for another defender.

Tomori faces a crucial decision

The Premier League side is prepared to fight until the end to win the race for Tomori, which could make the transfer increasingly difficult for Juventus. The Bianconeri remain keen, but the player’s own preference could prove decisive.

If Tomori wants to return to the Premier League, Aston Villa would have a huge advantage in the race for his signature. Juventus will therefore need to make a strong case if they want to convince him to remain in Italy.

With both clubs interested and AC Milan prepared to allow Tomori to leave, the defender could have an important decision to make before the transfer window closes. Juventus will hope that their interest and his experience in Italian football can help them secure his signature.
