He was protagonist of an excellent performance in the Champions League group stage game against the Rossoneri at Stamford Bridge as Graham Potter’s men won 3-0, and Loftus-Cheek looked very comfortable in a double pivot with Mateo Kovacic.
It is worth noting that the same source reported after that game how Loftus-Cheek would ask to leave if he were to fall down the pecking order again with Milan interested. In fact, they added how directors Paolo Maldini and Ricky Massara reiterated their appreciation for the 26-year-old Englishman, but were told at the moment there is no room for a negotiation.
Even if we match his current wage, he would move to us and become our highest earner by far. We rely on him taking a massive paycut. Good player though. Would add to our midfield.
