Benfica keen on defender Amorim will offload from Milan | OneFootball

Benfica remain in the market for a new centre-back and, after Rui Costa publicly confirmed the intention to strengthen the position, another name has now emerged linked with the Eagles. Fikayo Tomori, the AC Milan and England international, has reportedly come onto Benfica’s radar.

Benficahave reportedly asked for information about the situation of the 28-year-old centre-back, who has been told by Ruben Amorim to look for a new club.

Benfica’s hierarchy are said to have contacted the player’s representatives in recent days, in an initial approach to understand the conditions of a possible deal. However, there is already a significant obstacle: Tomori’s wage demands are considered too high and could complicate a move to the Estádio da Luz.

Interest in Tomori comes after two other English defenders were linked with Benfica in recent days. Southampton’s Taylor Harwood-Bellis and Chelsea’s Tosin Adarabioyo have also been mentioned as possible targets to strengthen Marco Silva’s central defence.
