Dean Jones of Give Me Sport reports that transfer discussions between Chelsea and AC Milan for Ruben Loftus-Cheek are possible. The 27-year-old midfielder’s future at Stamford Bridge is unknown since the club is willing to sell for the right price. It’s possible that AC Milan may scout the Premier League once again in search of a bright new player. Ruben Loftus-Cheek is not a promising future. However, he is a hard-working midfielder who has been unlucky. The midfielder has also gone through a major slump this season when his team has been struggling mightily to remain relevant.
Loftus-Cheek was a mainstay for Chelsea until the World Cup break, but since then he has seen little playing time. The 27-year-old midfielder has had his fair share of ailments. However, when he has been on the pitch, he has failed to impress his superiors. Loftus-Cheek might be sold by Chelsea if the right offer comes up. Given that the 27-year-old midfielder is an academy product, the club may be able to count the payments as pure profit if he leaves. There is still a year remaining on his contract. However, it seems doubtful that the club will wish to maintain him as a regular player.
Ruben Loftus-Cheek, 27-year-old midfielder of Chelsea, may soon depart Stamford Bridge for AC Milan
Several Italian clubs have been monitoring the status of the 27-year-old midfielder. As a trend among English players, relocating to Italy has piqued the attention of Roma and other Serie A clubs. The 27-year-old’s transfer to AC Milan, who have long been interested in the midfielder, may finally be their chance. Chelsea is apparently going to begin negotiations with the San Siro side, according to journalist Dean Jones.

Loftus-Cheek’s current annual salary of roughly €9 million
Despite Jones’s assurances that the transfer money is not a concern, Jones’s personal conditions might become a stumbling block for Milan. The Italian teams are not expected to match Loftus-Cheek’s current annual salary of roughly €9 million. The issue is whether or not the 27-year-old midfielder will accept a significant salary reduction. If not, the Chelsea midfielder may want to carry out his contract there and secure his financial future for at least a year. If he wants to play consistently and restart his career, though, he will need to take a pay cut.
The interest of Paris Saint-Germain in Ousmane Dembele has been reported by the Spanish media source SPORT. The 26-year-old has a reported €60 million price tag. However, he has no interest in joining PSG. And he’s prepared to sign a new deal with the Blaugrana to remain with Barcelona for the foreseeable future.
Ousmane Dembele’s career has been revitalised since Xavi Hernandez became Barcelona’s manager. The Frenchman’s previous clubs and country both had success with him as a player. However, he struggled at Spotify Camp Nou due to poor fitness and attitude throughout most of his time there.
