Juventus are one of the clubs interested in signing Fikayo Tomori, as it appears Ruben Amorim may not rely on the defender following his appointment as AC Milan’s new manager.
The England international has been one of the standout defenders in Serie A for much of his time in Italy, and Juventus believe he could further strengthen their defensive options.
However, the Bianconeri must first reduce the number of defenders in their squad before pursuing a new signing. They also face competition from the Saudi Pro League in the race for Tomori’s signature.
Juventus face competition for Tomori
According to Football Italia, Juventus must compete with Al Hilal, who have already made contact with AC Milan and submitted an offer for the defender.
Although the initial bid was rejected, it demonstrates Al Hilal’s serious interest in completing a deal. Juventus are monitoring the situation closely as they consider whether to make their own move.
The report also states that Tomori is focused on returning to the Premier League, suggesting he would prefer to remain in European football. That could work in Juventus’ favour if a move to England does not materialise.
Juventus must resolve squad before making move
Despite their interest in Tomori, Juventus are not yet in a position to make a formal approach because they need to offload several players before adding another defender to the squad.
The club are expected to prioritise player departures before progressing with any negotiations. Reducing the squad will also help create space and improve their financial flexibility during the transfer window.
Tomori remains an attractive option because of his experience and consistent performances in Serie A. Juventus believes he could make an immediate impact if it is able to complete the necessary changes to its squad.
The coming weeks will determine whether the Bianconeri can create the conditions required to pursue the defender, while they continue monitoring developments surrounding his future at AC Milan.
