Newcastle United are aiming to strengthen their defense forces before the summer transfer window, inquiring about AC Milan centre back Ficayotomori, according to a report from Milan Live.
The Magpie endured the volatile start of the current campaign, but soon found the rhythm again under Eddie Howe.
They managed to beat the trophy drought by beating Arne Slot’s Liverpool side in the finals before defeating the Carabao Cup.
Newcastle United are preparing for next season
The Toon Army is currently focusing on qualifying for the Champions League next season.
Howe’s side is currently fourth in the Premier League, one point behind third-place Manchester City.
To join the European competition for the next season, Newcastle has identified transfer targets.
The club begins to identify reinforcements, and Tomori has emerged as a major candidate.
The 27-year-old Tomori has been with AC Milan since he first loaned it out from Chelsea in 2021, and has ultimately become a permanent fixture for the team.
In Italy he played an important role in Milan’s 2022 Serie A title victory with over 150 appearances.
Tomori can leave AC Milan
Despite his importance to the team, Tomori’s future is now uncertain. AC Milan is reportedly considering offloading players this summer to fund new signatures, and Tomori could be available.
Returning to the Premier League, he may appeal to the five-time England International.
In Newcastle, he brought quality and energy to the backline, which now relies on experienced veterans like Fabian Shah and Dan Byrne.
Along with signing the new defender, Magpie is interested in the moves of Everton striker Dominique Calvert Lewin.
Inter Milan midfielder Hakankar Hanoglu is also on Newcastle’s radar.
