Fikayo Tomori has explained he’s yet to make contact with Thomas Tuchel following his loan move to AC Milan from Chelsea, speaking to Tutto Mercato.
Tomori took off to join Milan on loan in January after he was frozen out by Frank Lampard.
His European adventure so far has certainly been a prosperous one.
After impressing on his debut in the Milan derby less than two months ago, Tomori has played a further seven times and only been on the losing side once.
He started in both Europa League knock-out ties against Red Star Belgrade, with Milan going through on away goals.
That set up the tasty encounter with Manchester United and an opportunity for Tomori to return to England for the first time since his transfer.
He may fondly fly over Stamford Bridge on his way to Old Trafford, where Chelsea are thriving in their own right.
They have been transformed under Tuchel, with all their focus now on getting into the Champions League.
Tomori recognised the Blue’s efforts were being spent on achieving European success rather than distracting themselves with his movements.
“They are fine, they are satisfied and there is a good atmosphere,” said the 23-year-old about Chelsea’s progression.
“I haven’t heard from Tuchel but I understand he has to deal with what happens at Chelsea and I with what happens at Milan.
“There’s nothing wrong with that.”
The young defender is only with Milan until the end of this season, but there is an option to secure him permanently for £26m (Sky Sports).
Chelsea have already been linked to several centre-backs they might approach in the summer, casting further doubts over Tomori’s future.
If he continues his form for the Rossoneri, he may well be swapping blue for red and black indefinitely.
