CM: Questioned for the first time – Tomori on mission to rebuild relationship with Fonseca | OneFootball

Since joining AC Milan, there have rarely been questions about Fikayo Tomori’s place, but recently he has found himself in a new position, one he is keen to move away from.

Tomori’s season so far has been quite up and down. Before Paulo Fonseca arrived, reports suggested the Portuguese wanted to build his defence around the Englishman. However, that is no longer the case.

Due to a mixture of poor performances and the disciplinary issue against Fiorentina, he now finds himself in a difficult place. For three of the last four games he has been on the bench, but Fonseca is seeking his redemption.

As Calciomercato.com write, his current position is a new situation for the Englishman, who had ‘never been so questioned’ since joining. Nevertheless, he is paying for the farce in Florence, alongside some below-par performances that overlap with last season.

Against Real Madrid, though, he will be given another chance, with the Portuguese looking to his ‘most experienced and rooted’ players. Perhaps, a chance to ‘rewrite’ his present, as suggested by the report.

Failing to do so could be another step in the direction of a departure in the summer, and with Geoffrey Moncada already identifying targets, the chances to refind his feet may be fading. It is suggested that the Diavolo would part with Tomori for more than €20 million, with Juventus and Premier League clubs interested.
