Loftus-Cheek came through Chelsea’s youth ranks, graduating from the Cobham academy after joining in 2004.
He has had loan spells at both Crystal Palace and Fulham, but after almost 20 years with the Blues – they look set to part ways.
Of course, Loftus-Cheek would be joining another Cobham graduate if he decides to make the switch to Italy.
Fikayo Tomori joined Milan from Chelsea permanently back in 2021 after initially joining on loan, and has been an ever-present figure in the side since.

Despite having an inconsistent Chelsea career in terms of appearances, Loftus-Cheek has played 70 matches for the club over the past two seasons
This term, he has made 30 appearances in all competitions, with 22 coming in the Premier League and seven coming in the Champions League.
Not only has he been deployed in midfield, but also as a right midfielder, as well as a right wing-back.
However, he has failed to deliver in front of goal this season. The 27-year-old has failed to register a single goal in 2022/23, and has provided just two assists.
Loftus-Cheek to AC Milan seems close. Gutted how serious injury halted his progress while playing his best football. He did well to come back like he did. A popular player.
His dream was to play for Chelsea. From academy product to 151 apps in the first team – he did just that👏 pic.twitter.com/XtduLk6pSo
