“We will do everything we can to sign him to a permanent contract,” the legendary defender told the Gazzetta dello Sport.
“Two months remain until the end of the season, and it’s not just up to Milan. Tomori impresses with talent and determination. He has not shown any fear of playing in a new league. Potentially he can become a great champion. I hope he lives up to expectations. ”
So far, the player has appeared for Stefano Pioli’s side on only 12 occasions, but it seems that he has shown enough to convince the club that he is worth the above fee.

Before moving to Italy, Tomori had been limited to just one appearance in the Premier League this season under Frank Lampard, and although Thomas Tuchel has not closed the door on a potential return for the player, if Milan activate the buy-out clause. , it will be in the hands of the German.
Baresi is considered one of the greatest central defenders of all time, and for the former Derby County man to receive such strong approval from Milan’s royalty highlights how much impression Tomori has made on the San Siro.
