Newcastle United continue to assess their options in the transfer market as Eddie Howe looks to strengthen his squad ahead of the new season.
The Magpies have already overseen major changes during the summer following several high-profile departures from St James’ Park.
Despite investing heavily in young talent, Newcastle remain keen to add experience to key areas of the squad.
Defence is one position that could receive further attention before the transfer window closes.
AC Milan are also preparing for changes at the back following the arrival of Mario Gila from Lazio earlier this summer.
The Serie A side will rely heavily on player sales after missing out on Champions League qualification.
As a result, several senior players have emerged as candidates to leave the San Siro in the coming weeks.
According to Corriere dello Sport, AC Milan are ready to sell Fikayo Tomori this summer. And, Newcastle United are among the clubs monitoring his situation.
The report states that Coventry City are also interested in the defender. Meanwhile, Juventus are viewing him as a potential option if Federico Gatti leaves the club.
Tomori has remained a regular figure in Milan’s defence despite uncertainty surrounding his future.
However, with his contract running until 2027, Milan are keen to avoid the possibility of losing him for nothing next year.
The defender has already rejected an approach from Al-Hilal as he wants to continue competing at the highest level.
The 28-year-old had also come close to joining Tottenham in January 2025 before deciding against the move.
Newcastle are now keeping a close eye on developments as they continue their search for defensive reinforcements.
With Milan open to a sale and the defender attracting interest from England once again, his future could become one of the stories to watch during the remainder of the window.
