The 28-year-old has been with the Serie A giants since 2021 when he joined from Chelsea, initially on loan before making the move permanent for £25 million. The six-cap England international won Serie A in his first season at the club, but success has been harder to come by since. Milan finished fifth in the Italian top flight last season, leading to Max Allegri being sacked as manager and replaced by Ruben Amorim.

Tomori was left on the bench as Milan were beaten 3-0 by his former side Chelsea in a pre-season friendly on Saturday. That does not necessarily spell the end of the centre-back’s time at the club, but given Amorim made 10 changes, it was not a good sign. With less than a year left on his contract at the San Siro, Italian publication Quotidiano Sportivo reports that he is likely to be sold this summer.

Liverpool are looking to revamp their defence under new boss Andoni Iraola and the same can be said about Newcastle under Matthias Jaissle. Both the Reds and the Magpies are interested in bringing Tomori back to England.

The former England midfielder managed Tomori during his spell at Derby County and then guided his breakthrough into the first team at Chelsea. Attracting the experienced centre-back from AC Milan would be a huge signing for the Sky Blues, but clearly it is a huge task for Lampard to persuade Tomori with the likes of Liverpool also interested.
