Tomori loan deal close says AC Milan technical director Paolo Maldini
A loan move for Fikayo Tomori is close to completion however, could still fall through according to AC Milan technical director Paolo Maldini. The two clubs are close to agreeing a fee in the range of £25m loan deal with an option to buy at the end of the loan.
