AC Milan are interested in signing Chelsea midfielder Ruben Loftus-Cheek.
The Italian club are reported to be admirers of the 26-year old who is under contract at Stamford Bridge until 2024.
Loftus-Cheek’s career at Chelsea has been blighted with injury, and he missed an entire season after an damaged his ACL in a post season friendly. He was also lent out to Crystal Palace, but worked his way back into favour under Thomas Tuchel, and has also featured for his successor Graham Potter.
The Premier League side do not want to part with him, but also do not want to see another player enter into the final year of his contract and potentially walk away for free.
As yet there have been no indications that they are prepared to offer him a new deal, so, in such circumstances, they may be ready to listen to offers from the Serie A club.
