AC Milan and Chelsea are working on the final details for the transfer of Ruben Loftus-Cheek. In other words, the Englishman is just one step away from joining the Rossoneri and his former teammate Fikayo Tomori.
Milan have been linked with the midfielder for quite some time and a deal appeared close already at the beginning of June. However, then Paolo Maldini was sacked and the pursuit was put on hold.
In the last few days, Giorgio Furlani has re-started the pursuit and the final details are now being worked out with Chelsea, as per Gianluca Di Marzio. The deal should be worth £18.5m, which is €21.5m, including bonuses.
Loftus-Cheek is thus set to become the first signing of the summer for Milan. It’s a much-needed reinforcement in the midfield following the departure of Sandro Tonali and the serious injury of Ismael Bennacer.
Milan also need to sign a striker ahead of next season and it seems the most concrete targets are Alvaro Morata and Gianluca Scamacca.
