Tomori gave the ball to his compatriot Tammy Abraham instead of Christian Pulisic, but the English striker missed the Rossoneri’s second penalty kick of the night, upsetting the coach.

Tomori spent six of the last seven Serie A games on the bench and is reportedly seeking a January exit from Milan.

Juventus are reportedly interested in a loan deal for Tomori, but it’s unclear whether Milan would give another player to a direct opponent after Kalulu.

The Frenchman swapped Milan with Juventus last summer, quickly becoming a regular starter under Thiago Motta.

According to Tuttosport, David Hancko (Feyenoord) is Juventus’ primary target for the summer, while Johan Vásquez (Genoa) and Adrian Ismajli (Empoli) are among the January targets.
