Serie A side Milan have been hopeful of finding a suitor for defender Fikayo Tomori, who had attracted interest from Aston Villa. For now, the deal is on hold.
Get Italian Football News have taken a closer look at how initial contact has been made for the defender, who has previously also been of interest to Coventry City.
Now, Daniele Longo has reported some updates about the matter, saying that only Aston Villa have made concrete moves for the Englishman.
They had been in discussions with Milan for the 28-year-old for many days. The two parties even appeared to have agreed a fee worth €10 million plus bonuses.
Soon, Aston Villa decided to back away and look at signing Club Brugge’s Joel Ordonez instead. Milan will try to rekindle contact with the Villans over a possible deal as the two parties have a good relationship. But if that fails, they will explore other English opportunities for the player too.
Earlier in the window, Al Hilal had also explored a move for Tomori. Initial contact was made but it never turned into a formal approach.
