Chelsea have been told that they are about to let two “excellent” players leave Stamford Bridge in Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Christian Pulisic.

That is according to Fabrizio Ravanelli – who used to play for Italy and Juventus.

So, what was said about Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Christian Pulisic? Let’s take a look…

What’s the story?

Well – according to Calciomercato – Chelsea have agreed a £13m deal with AC Milan which will see the England international move to the San Siro.

Elsewhere – as detailed by the Evening Standard – AC Milan are very keen to sign Pulisic, and are currently trying to negotiate the £25m asking price with Chelsea.

Many expect both deals to go through, and Ravenelli has now shared his thoughts on AC Milan’s dealings with Chelsea.

The 54-year-old told Calciomercato: “They are two valid young players, they can cover for different players. If they have space, they’re scary, they’re two excellent signings for Milan, even if for many Milan fans they might seem like stopgap signings. 

“They are players who can make the difference. Playing in a difficult league like the Premier League gives experience, they arrive in a difficult league like the Italian one but they can do well, I like them a lot.”

Pulisic and Loftus-Cheek not the only ones leaving Chelsea

It has been hard to keep up with all the news about outgoings at Chelsea lately, but let’s try to clear it up for you.

So far, Mateo Kovacic and Kalidou Koulibaly have officially left Stamford Bridge for Manchester City and Al-Hilal respectively.

N’Golo Kante is also leaving for Al-Ittihad when his contract expires on Friday, while Tiémoué Bakayoko has been released.

The following deals are yet to be officially confirmed, although Kai Havertz is close to joining Arsenal and Edouard Mendy is nearing a move to Al-Ahli.

Cesar Azpilicueta is also expected to join Inter Milan on a free transfer, while Romelu Lukaku pushes to join the Italian giants as well.
