Ruben Loftus-Cheek is a concrete target for AC Milan in their pursuit of a new central midfielder and discussions are underway between the clubs, a report claims.
According to Corriere dello Sport (via PianetaMilan), Loftus-Cheek could take the second non-EU spot for the 2023-24 season with the other being occupied by Daichi Kamada, who should join on a free transfer. Devis Vasquez would then be sold.

Chelsea are now in the position of having to sell off some players to thin out their huge squad after a disappointing season and Loftus-Cheek is among those who can depart, with Milan strongly interested.
Talks between Chelsea and Milan for the Englishman have started, but an economic agreement will need to be found. The Rossoneri, for their part, would like to spend less than €20m to sign him by virtue of the fact that his contract expires on 30 June 2024.
Chelsea on the other hand are looking for a bit more to sell. Either way, it would certainly not be the first deal that Chelsea and Milan completed after the likes of Tiemoue Bakayoko, Fikayo Tomori and Olivier Giroud.
Too expensive . They offered for Leao less than 100 million, and Milan is buying from them too expensive
I have nothing against Loftus-Cheek and think he could be a good signing but I would rather that we would go for Yuri Telemans for free, save the non-eu slot and 20m for someone else. They would probably require similar wage package
We should still get Tielemans regardless because Bennacer will be out injured for 6months.
Ruben Loftus-Cheek is not enough for the midfield especially since we will get rid of Bakayoko and Vranckx. We should sell Pobega too. He’s not good at all.
What we need in our team and especially in midfield is height and physique my guy. and Tielemans aint it.
Agreed we need somebody to bully others before they get too the defence.
Devis vasquez would then be sold ?? Hes even not play yet. Ruben is non EU coz hes englishman…
Wow Milan still talking about this guy. Have you watched him play? In my opinion he is a waste of money. Please go for another player
Yeah and I’ve even seen him live. He is for sure underrated.
He will bring height and physicality which we are in dire need of and also creativity wihich people tend to overlook together with his technical attributes.
