CM: Tomori’s future has ‘changed’ – Juventus still present but move almost impossible | OneFootball

Fikayo Tomori was heading in one direction as the January mercato approached, but now, the Englishman is back in contention, and it seems he will stay there.

Paulo Fonseca’s relationship with Tomori was rocky, and it seemed that the defender was on his way out of the club with the Portuguese head coach struggling to find a place for the defender in his system. However, this has now changed.

The Englishman, in some way, has been given a golden ticket to re-find himself. Sergio Conceicao wants to assess the players himself, and Tomori was one player brought back into the side for the Supercoppa semi-final.

Today, Calciomercato.com have provided an update on things, and it seems that the defender will not leave the club in January. According to the report, the defender is Conceicao’s best defender for the role required – being able to quickly get back and defend after being in a high line – perhaps, he is the only one that can fill this role too.

So for this reason, Tomori’s situation has changed. Whilst Juventus remain knocking at the door, with Cristiano Giuntoli stating as much before the game, it would require an offer too big for the Bianconeri to table.

In other words, the interest has not died, but the possibility of a deal has.
