Ed002 do chelsea rate tomori, he has been quality so far and do you expect milan to pay the option or is the plan for him to come back.
{Ed002's Note - Clubs don't "rate" players as such but he is well thought of and Chelsea have given him the chance to learn further and get game time with Milan which would not have happened in England. I suspect Milan would like to keep him but they have money problems which mean they may not be able to afford him with other transfers that they are looking at for the summer.}

Rumours came out of Italy this week that Milan will try and push the agreed fee down in the summer.

J; I strongly think it won’t work, I feel that Tomori’s (agreed option to buy fee) is quite low for a player of his quality, so I don’t think AC Milan trying to push down the agreed fee will work unless perhaps another option/ clause that favours Chelsea can be agreed upon. But I think we have to wait till the summer transfer window.

I did read somewhere (might have been here, but I don't want to put words into the Eds mouth) that the option to buy should be ignored, as Milan simply won't be in a position to do it.
{Ed002's Note - I am not sure who said that - it over simplifies the situation.}
