AC Milan has agreed to pay Newcastle United £50 million to get two top-tier players.

Fikayo Tomori, a defender for AC Milan, has become a clear target for Premier League giant Newcastle United.

According to Corriere dello Sport, an Italian news source, Eddie Howe is trying to bolster his defensive options, which is why the Magpies are reportedly interested in the former Chelsea star.

The Englishman’s return home transfer is apparently being approved for £41 million by Paulo Fonseca’s team, who may be aware of Newcastle’s wealth.

Twelve months ago, Sandro Tonali moved to St James’ Park thanks to an agreement between Milan and Newcastle. The Tyne team paid €70 million to acquire the Italian midfield player.

The 24-year-old’s well-known gambling issues, however, derailed his Premier League debut; however, the Magpies are hoping Tomori’s transfer can atone for that setback.

Tomori has been with Milan instead of Chelsea since January 2021.

The Serie A runners-up from the previous season are eager to benefit handsomely from the 26-year-old’s departure and paid £25 million in the summer of 2021 to make the move permanent.

Tomori’s chances of playing for his country have improved thanks to his comeback in Italy; Gareth Southgate has included him in his preliminary England squad for the 2024 European Championship.

The rearguard, who was born in Canada but did not make the final cut, is still one of the most consistent defenders in Europe and might be a good addition to Newcastle.

However, given that Tomori has three more years remaining on his San Siro deal, Howe’s club is unlikely to be able to negotiate a lower fee.

Milan would be prepared to listen to offers as they competed to acquire Monaco midfielder Youssouf Fofana, who is in high demand.

In order to pay for the Frenchman’s arrival, pio must raise money.

It might work to the Magpies’ advantage.

Even though Tomori’s prior Premier League season was not particularly spectacular, he has the opportunity to improve at Newcastle.As of January 2021, Tomori has grown into one of Serie A’s most highly regarded center backs, solidifying his position as the foundation of Stefano Pioli’s defense.
