Milan’s honorary vice president Franco Baresi confirms the Rossoneri want to keep hold of Fikayo Tomori but insists it’s doesn’t depend on the club only.
The Englishman joined Milan on loan from Chelsea in January. The deal came with a €28m option to buy, but the Serie A giants are negotiating a lower fee with the Blues.
“We’ll do everything to sign him on a permanent deal,” Baresi told La Gazzetta dello Sport.
“Two months are remaining until the end of the season, and it’s not only up to Milan.

“We’ll do everything to sign him on a permanent deal,” Baresi told La Gazzetta dello Sport.
“Two months are remaining until the end of the season, and it’s not only up to Milan.
“Tomori is imposing himself with talent and determination. He has shown no fear to play in a new league. Potentially, he can become a great champion. I hope he lives up to expectations.”
The Rossoneri are also in talks to extend Gigio Donnarumma’s contract.
“We know his qualities. He’s grown up at Milan and we know how important he could be in the coming years.”
The Rossoneri sit second in the Serie A table, six points off Inter, but the Nerazzurri have a game in hand. Can Milan still win the title?
“Let’s see. Inter are doing well and Milan must do our best. It’s part of our history.
“It doesn’t only depend on us. We must keep winning games as we did in Florence, where we showed the right spirit.”
