Chelsea star Ruben Loftus-Cheek has agreed personal terms with AC Milan ahead of his imminent transfer to the San Siro.
That is according to well-respected journalist Fabrizio Romano.
Ruben Loftus-Cheek, who’s played 155 first-team games for Chelsea, may have made his final appearance for the Blues.
Calciomercato claimed yesterday that Loftus-Cheek’s move to Italian giants Milan was drawing close.
Now, it looks like the 27-year-old’s switch to the Serie A is a matter of time.
Romano has explained on Twitter that Loftus-Cheek has agreed personal terms with Milan.
It is understood that his transfer could be worth as much as €20million (£17million) in total.
In addition, the Englishman is “very excited” to be leaving Stamford Bridge and joining up with Milan.
“Understand AC Milan and Chelsea are closing in on Ruben Loftus Cheek deal for €16m fee plus €4m add-ons, this is the final package,” Romano said.
“Personal terms agreed, RLC understood to be really excited about joining Milan.
“Final details discussed then… here we go.”
Loftus-Cheek has been adored by the Chelsea fanbase for several years due to his development in the Blues academy. In fact, you could argue he led the way in the modern era for the youngsters to step up from Cobham into the first-team picture.
The ‘fantastic’ central midfielder can be so good with his strength and technical quality in the centre of the park.
Unfortunately, he’s never really grown into the superstar many thought he would do.
Our guess is the Englishman can go to Italy and do well in the Milan midfield.
