In late July 2026, AC Milan set a €20 million valuation for defender Fikayo Tomori after receiving a €15 million offer from Newcastle United. The club noted that Tomori had fallen down the pecking order following the €30 million signing of centre‑back Mario Gila, prompting interest from several English sides—including West Ham, Hull City, Coventry City—and even Juventus.

A few days later, Liverpool entered direct negotiations with Milan, aiming to sign Tomori for roughly €20 million. Manager Andoni Iraola, newly appointed, sought the experienced defender to replace Ibrahima Konaté, who had left on a free transfer to Real Madrid. While Newcastle’s interest remained reported, Liverpool emerged as the primary suitor in the negotiations.

The situation reflects a rapid escalation from multiple speculative offers to a focused bid by Liverpool, with Milan maintaining its €20 million price tag throughout.
