Chelsea midfielder Ruben Loftus-Cheek is a top transfer target for the Euro giants AC Milan, as reported per CaughtOffSide.
In a mix of fitness shortcomings due to injuries and an overcrowded dressing room at Stamford Bridge, the England international had limited playing time this season.
According to transfer news expert Fabrizio Romano, the Serie A club is looking to land Loftus-Cheek with a permanent deal rather than suggesting a loan option.
Despite Ruben Loftus-Cheek's inability to reach his full potential at Chelsea, the fact that a prominent club like Milan is expressing interest in signing him this summer speaks volumes about his talent. It will be intriguing to witness whether the Englishman can rediscover his top form through a stint in Serie A, following in the footsteps of other former Chelsea players such as Tammy Abraham and Fikayo Tomori who have found success after leaving the club.
A sense of disappointment among Chelsea fans regarding this transfer would be expected, considering the home-grown talent of the 27-year-old. As the deal talks are developing behind closed doors, Romano informs that the player is not against moving to AC Milan.
