AC Milan are reportedly in negotiations with Chelsea to sign out-of-favour midfielder, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, as the Englishman looks to leave Stamford Bridge this summer.
AC Milan are a step closer to agreeing a deal with the Blues, as reports indicate that the clubs are close to agreeing a fee for Loftus-Cheek – in a deal that is set to cost the Serie A side £15m.
The Chelsea star appeared 33 times under Graham Potter and Frank Lampard, in his most fruitful season in west London.
However, after contributing with only two assists, the England international has fallen out-of-favour at Stamford Bridge and could join former Chelsea teammate, Fikayo Tomori, in Milan this summer.
Fabrizio Romano reports suggest that the 27-year-old remains high on Milan’s list and a deal could be completed in the coming days.
