Aston Villa are monitoring Fikayo Tomori’s position at AC Milan and have already made contact about the defender, according to Ekrem Konur.

The 28-year-old England international could consider a return to the Premier League during the January transfer window, with Aston Villa emerging as a potential destination.

AC Milan are reportedly open to the possibility of selling Tomori, who is no longer viewed as an indispensable part of the club’s long-term plans. A suitable offer in January could persuade the Italian club’s management to examine his departure seriously.

Tomori is also believed to be receptive to returning to English football. He came through the academy at Chelsea before establishing himself in Italy, and a move back to the environment he knows could provide a fresh direction in his career.

The defender still has a contract with AC Milan until June 2027, while his value is estimated at 10 million euros by Transfermarkt. His contractual position could therefore be an important factor in negotiations as the January window approaches and the club assesses any proposals received.

Tomori’s immediate attention will be on AC Milan’s Serie A fixture against Udinese, which will be the club’s eighth league match of the season.
