Following the news that Fikayo Tomori has been deemed surplus to requirements at AC Milan, we've assessed where the England man could be plying his trade next season.
The former Chelsea man is one of three players not in Ruben Amorim's plans -- alongside Christopher Nkunku and Youssef Fofana -- according to Fabrizio Romano on X.
A return to the Premier League seems the most likely next step for Tomori, with three clubs supposedly interested, find out who below.
Coventry City
Could a third reunion with Frank Lampard be on the cards?
Following Coventry's promotion under the former Chelsea midfielder, the task of building a squad capable of staying up is well underway.
Featuring 33 times in the Italian top flight and helping Milan to a fifth-placed finish, ahead of Juventus and Atalanta, shows that Tomori still has quality and consistency to play at the top level.
Though the Sky Blues appear well stocked at centre-back -- Liam Kitching, Bobby Thomas and Aurele Amenda are all solid options -- Premier League squads often contain four in the position to allow for rotation and cover for both starters.
It would also be incredibly hard to turn down a player of Tomori's ability should the stars align and he become available for a modest fee.
Liverpool
It is no secret that Liverpool are in the market for a centre-back this summer.
Injuries to Joe Gomez, Geovanni Leoni and Jeremy Jacquet have forced their hand into signing Ronald Araujo on loan, though he is notoriously prone to spells on the sideline.
Add to that the fact that Virgil van Dijk isn't getting any younger having recently turned 35, and it becomes apparent that the Reds will need more if they are to compete on all fronts this term.
Fikayo Tomori would be a solid option. A six-cap England international, Serie A winner and Serie A Team of the Year pick in 2021/22, he is not short of experience and pedigree at the top level.
Known for his mobility and speed, he would compliment the ageing Van Dijk well, and could even offer up-and-comers Jacquet and Leoni advice as they learn to cut their teeth at the highest level.
Newcastle United
Newcastle have some serious money to spend after the sales of Anthony Gordon, Sandro Tonali and Bruno Guimaraes. They also need a major squad revamp following the departure of Eddie Howe and appointment of Mathias Jassle.
The Magpies were reportedly interested in Tomori early last year, and it seems they could be once again following Ruben Amorim's decision.
With centre-half options of Malick Thiaw, Sven Botman, and the ageing Fabian Schar and Dan Burn, Tomori would add another dimension and, at 28-years-old a much needed injection of younger legs.
Botman has struggled to remain fit in recent seasons too.
Tomori likely wouldn't cost too much due to being told he can look elsewhere, so would leave plenty of funds to spend on signing replacements for the key players they have lost thus far in the window.
