The international for England was one of Serie A's top players in 2021–22 and was included in the Team Of The Season after Milan won its first Scudetto in eleven years.
After defeating Sassuolo 3-0 in their final match of the season, the Rossoneri were proclaimed Italian champions. The following day, players and supporters celebrated in an open-bus procession through the streets of Milan.
“It was incredible, there were fans at every corner. It was the best moment in my career,” Tomori told GQ magazine.
“Whoever follows football knows that Milan is a top club with a history known everywhere. Paolo Maldini wanted me here and it made me so happy. When Simon Kajer got injured, I understood I had to make a further step, gaining continuity to become a leader.”
Tomori has entered his third season at Milan. He first joined the Rossoneri on loan with an option to buy from Chelsea in January 2021, and the Serie A giants made his move permanent for €29m after just six months.
The product of Chelsea academy has recently signed a contract extension until June 2027. He has collected 64 games with the Rossoneri, scoring two goals.
“The first time I saw a full San Siro was against Atletico in the Champions League,” he said.
“I was at ease, we didn’t win, but the atmosphere was great. In England, people enter the stadium just before kick-off, while in Italy, the stadium is full during the warm-up. My friends came to watch me against Atalanta, and they show me pictures from that night every time we meet.”
