Chelsea midfielder Ruben Loftus-Cheek is in talks about a move to AC Milan this summer.
Although the 27 year old still has one year left on his current contract at Stamford Bridge, he is one of the players that they are hoping to move on as they look to trim their squad in order to comply with Financial Fair Play rules.
Milan are looking to rebuild after a disappointing season in the league, and their exit from the Champions league at the semi-final stage at the hands of their neighbours Inter.
They have also had success with signing former Chelsea players in the past, with Fikayo Tomori and Olivier Giroud both having proved useful acquisitions to their squad.
Loftus-Cheek is reported to be keen on the move, and is prepared to accept a cut in wages in order to facilitate it.
He has made 30 appearances for the club this season in all competitions, but it now looks like his Chelsea career is heading to the end.
