Tomori has become the new leader of AC Milan's defence, and he and Botman are expected to form the team's future main partner.
Since the 2020 winter transfer window from Chelsea to AC Milan, Englandman Tomori has firmly occupied the team's main position at centre-back, and his excellent performance during the loan period also persuaded the club's management to officially buy it out last summer for a high transfer fee of 28.8 million euros and continue to play at the San Siro Stadium.
Good adaptability has also made it a reliance on the team in the back line, Tomori has played a total of 21 matches for the Rossoneri in Serie A this season, the team's record is 15 wins, 5 draws and 1 loss, the average goal conceded is only 0.8 goals per game, and when he is absent, the team's record is 3 wins, 1 draw and 3 losses, averaging 1.57 per game, the gap is very obvious. In addition, in recent media interviews, Tomori has been able to answer in Italian, proving that he has quickly integrated into the local culture and environment.
As long as the 24-year-old Englishman can stay healthy, he will be the first choice of manager Pioli in the central defender position, whether it is the partner of captain Romagnoli, or Kyar and Kalulu, he can do a good job. With Romagnoli's contract expiring, young player Gabia may be on loan and the team's central defender configuration may change in the new season.
If Maldini and Masala can successfully bring in Lille's Dutch international Botman this summer, then Tomori and his combination are likely to become the main partner of the Rossoneri for a long time to come, while the experienced Danish international Kyal will be their number one rotation option, and the Frenchman Kalulu can also provide enough help when necessary, such a defensive combination will impact the Rossoneri to attack the Serie A title championship. And strive to successfully qualify in the Champions League group stage to provide enough confidence.
