Ruben Loftus-Cheek has now been spotted in Milan as he nears a move away from Chelsea this summer.

The footage in question comes courtesy of Gianluca Di Marzio.

So, what is the latest on Ruben Loftus-Cheek? Let’s take a look…

What’s the story?

Well, the England international was seen getting out of a car earlier on Thursday as he underwent his medical in Milan.

According to Sky Italy, Chelsea and AC Milan have agreed a €21.5m (£18.6m) deal for Loftus-Cheek.

You can see footage of the Chelsea No.12 arriving for his medical below.

Fabrizio Romano has since added that Loftus-Cheek is now ready to sign a contract after passing his medical.

The 27-year-old, who was called a “classy” player by Crystal Palace Chairman Steve Parish, is clearly very close to leaving Stamford Bridge.

It brings an end to his 19-year stay at Chelsea, after joining the academy in 2004 at the age of eight.

Loftus-Cheek not the only one who could leave Chelsea for AC Milan

Interestingly, Loftus-Cheek could be followed to AC Milan by another Chelsea player in Christian Pulisic.

Sky Italy believe the Italian giants also want to sign the United States international.

However, AC Milan are currently negotiating with the Blues after deeming the £19m asking price to be too high.

In our view, that is a very reasonable figure for Chelsea to demand, given the fact Pulisic is just 24 years of age and also cost the Blues £58m from Borussia Dortmund back in January 2019.

Sky Italy add that AC Milan are now considering a deal to sign Adama Traore on a free transfer instead.

Even if the American does not join Loftus-Cheek in Milan, he still has a few familiar faces already at the San Siro who can help him settle in, such as Fikayo Tomori and Olivier Giroud.
