AC Milan has set its sights on Fulham’s Nigerian central defender, Tosin Adarabioyo, as a potential reinforcement for their defensive line, according to allnigeriasoccer.com.
With his contract set to expire in three months, the Rossoneri are monitoring the situation closely, considering Tosin as a viable option for a free transfer in the upcoming off-season.
Despite being presented with the opportunity to secure Tosin during the January transfer window, discussions have stalled, leaving the door open for his potential exit from Fulham as a free agent. Tosin, a product of the Manchester City academy, has made a notable impact at Fulham, contributing to the team with 126 appearances and scoring four goals across all competitions.
The Cottagers are eager to retain the Nigerian Federation target, but as of yet, Tosin has not provided any affirmative response to the contract renewal proposals. With the situation unresolved, top clubs from France and England are also expressing interest, poised to make a move for Tosin should he part ways with Fulham at the season’s end.
According to Transfermarkt Tosin Adarabioyo’s current value estimates at 12 million, but if signed as a free agent there will be no transfer fee. Thus, the defender has an opportunity to negotiate better salary.
AC Milan’s search for a central defender also includes other prospects such as Alessandro Buongiorno of Torino and Lloyd Kelly of Bournemouth. The Italian club’s strategy for the summer transfer window seems to be taking a definitive shape with these new developments.
