Milan Tomori faces exclusion as swap talks surface

Milan Tomori's exclusion from the squad has left AC Milan under pressure to secure his future, with a potential swap for Portuguese full‑back Nuno Tavares emerging as a possible solution before his 2027 contract expires. The club aims to avoid losing him on a free transfer next year.

Exclusion shakes Tomori's future

Ruben Amorim listed Fikayo Tomori among the players omitted from the squad, confirming he will not feature in the friendly against Manchester United. Tomori posted an Instagram story stating, “Sarà la fede a guidarmi, non quello che vedo. Credo in Dio”, indicating he will not be discouraged. The midfielder’s contract runs until 2027, prompting Milan to seek a solution to avoid a free exit.

Swap with Tavares on the table

According to La Repubblica, AC Milan and Lazio are discussing a swap that would send Nuno Tavares to Milan in exchange for Tomori. Tavares, also Portuguese like Amorim, would fit the coach’s system as a versatile full‑back across the defensive line. Porto has also shown interest in Tavares, adding another potential destination for the player. The potential move has been highlighted in Calciomercato Notizie.
