Deal Reached: 30 Millions and He's Heading to Juventus, Madrid Opens the Door

The winter transfer market is about to kick off, and moves are already underway. According to Italian sources, defender Fikayo Tomori will leave AC Milan to join Juventus for 30 million euros.

Tomori's name had been strongly mentioned in the offices of Santiago Bernabéu. The English central defender was on the list of potential reinforcements to bolster a Real Madrid defense that has suffered significant losses this season. However, Juventus's offer has been decisive.

Priority in Turin

Juventus is undergoing a rebuilding process. Tomori's transfer addresses their need to strengthen a defense that has lost solidity in recent years. At just 25 years old, the central defender is poised to be a key piece for the team's future.

The white club will have to look toward other options. Although Tomori was an interesting profile, Real Madrid has names like Dean Huijsen, Jonathan Tah, or the young Vitor Reis on their radar. Additionally, the gradual return of Militão could alleviate the defensive situation in the medium term.

The deal for Tomori stands out for its quality-price ratio. With 30 million euros, Juventus secures a player with experience in European competitions and room for growth. This move also demonstrates the bianconeri's ability to anticipate in the market.

The impact on Milan

AC Milan loses one of its defensive pillars. Although they have alternatives in their team, it will be difficult to replace the quality and leadership the Englishman provided. This transfer also reflects Milan's willingness to adjust their team in a competitive market.

The winter market promises to be busy. Real Madrid, although having missed the opportunity with Tomori, remains active in search of options to strengthen their team. Rumors of new names will soon appear.

Tomori's transfer by Juventus marks the start of a transfer window that promises to be decisive for many European clubs. What will be Real Madrid's next move?
