Paolo Maldini had been in talks with Chelsea for quite some time about the future of Loftus-Cheek and the Englishman seemed destined to join Milan. Then, Maldini was sacked and the pursuit was abandoned.
That is until now. According to SportItalia, Milan have initiated new talks with Chelsea over the midfielder after the sale of Tonali to Newcastle. The 27-year-old could be one of two midfielders to join the Rossoneri this summer and his price tag is believed to be around €20m.
Milan are indeed in dire need of some reinforcement in midfield as Ismael Bennacer will be sidelined until the end of the year. As things stand, therefore, Rade Krunic and Tommaso Pobega are the starting midfielders and that won’t cut it.
