Ruben Loftus-Cheek likely played his last ever game for Chelsea against Newcastle United yesterday, as he is expected to be one of the names out the door this summer as the club begin their overhaul.
Loftus-Cheek has been at Chelsea since the academy days, and despite several loans away from the club has always found his way back. This time is expected to be different, with a permanent deal on the horizon.
AC Milan have long standing interest in Loftus-Cheek, and they are now closing in on his signing.
As reported by Fabrizio Romano , AC Milan are advancing on the signing of Ruben Loftus-Cheek from Chelsea on a permanent deal.
Chelsea are going to have a massive clear out this summer as they prepare to rebuild the team from top to bottom, and Ruben Loftus-Cheek is one of the players deemed surplus to requirements.
AC Milan have shown interest in Loftus-Cheek since the two clubs played in the Champions League last year, and they decided that this summer would be the time they make an official move.
The final fee for Ruben Loftus-Cheek is expected to be around €20million, and it's a sale that will help Chelsea in regards to FFP. The player has a year left on his deal, so the club would rather sell as opposed to losing him on a free next summer.
AC Milan are progressing in talks with Chelsea and the player, and the expectation is that a deal will be completed in the coming weeks.
