Fikayo Tomori could be about to accidentally cost Chelsea £15m five years after leaving the club

His impressive performances in Italy have seen him linked with a return to Chelsea in the past, however now he finds himself out of the picture at the San Siro.

We want to know who and WHY?

Fikayo Tomori could cost Chelsea £15m

Even though Blues supporters would happily see Tomori return to the club, he is currently strongly linked with Benfica.

The Portuguese side have also been interested in signing Chelsea defender Tosin Adarabioyo, however it is unlikely they bring in two options for the same position.

It could therefore be a significant blow to the Blues, with Fabrizio Romano stating that Benfica have enquired into Tomori as a replacement for Antonio Silva.

He said on his YouTube: “Benfica asked the player’s agents for Tomori a few days ago, but at the moment the salary demands are very, very high. However, Benfica is looking for a centre-back because Antonio Silva left, and Tomori is one of the players Benfica has wanted.”

The Blues have set a £15m price tag to part ways with the defender, a significant amount of money for a side who are pushing for player sales.

Tosin sale could set Chelsea back again

Chelsea have looked to address the lack of experience in the first team squad this summer under the instruction of new manager Xabi Alonso.

This has seen Danny Welbeck and Jordan Henderson join the club, with their role off the pitch set to be as important as their one on it.

Tosin remains one of the more experienced players in the squad though, and letting him leave could have a significant impact on some of those who have looked up to him in the dressing room.

Cole Palmer would likely be the one impacted the most, given he has proven to have a very strong relationship with him.
