During the last transfer window, Juventus made several attempts to sign Fikayo Tomori, the reliable AC Milan defender with international experience.

According to Matteo Moretto on Fabrizio Romano’s YouTube channel, Juventus were confident about the move.

But Tomori’s answer was clear he wanted to stay with AC Milan. He also rejected an offer from Tottenham for the same reason.

Tomori’s decision is seen as a missed opportunity for Juventus, who are still searching for defensive reinforcements under Igor Tudor.

The 1997-born defender would have brought pace, experience, and solidity qualities that could have strengthened Juve’s back line.

His strong start to the season with Milan shows why Juventus had identified him as a sensible target.

The latest reports suggest that Tomori and his representatives are now in talks with AC Milan to extend his contract until 2027.

For Juventus, that likely closes the door on signing the English defender. The club will now have to explore other names to bolster their defense.
