Chelsea have been offered an opportunity to re-sign their former defender, Fikayo Tomori from AC Milan.

The deal could be completed in the ongoing transfer window, according to a report by CFCPys.

However, this deal would depend on the possible sale of center-back Axel Disasi.

The England defender left Chelsea for AC Milan for a reported €35.30 million in July 2021.

Tomori has since then proven to be an important defender at San Siro, scoring eight goal contributions in 157 appearances.

The centre-back has made 15 appearances across all competitions for the Italian giants this season.

In nine Serie A games, he has registered 16 clearances and won 25 out of 43 ground duels contested, according to FootyStats.

He could also be used as a makeshift right-back, given Reece James’ fitness concerns.

According to the report, while Juventus are interested in signing the defender, Chelsea would also have to offload Disasi.

Disasi is contracted at the west London side until June 2029, meaning his possible sale could be difficult, while Tomori is contracted at AC Milan till June 2027.
