Milan in advanced talks to sign Chelsea midfielder

Chelsea midfielder Ruben Loftus-Cheek has one year left on his contract at Stamford Bridge and an exit will suit both parties. 

According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Negotiations are progressing well for Loftus-Cheek to join his former Chelsea teammates Fikayo Tomori and Oliver Giroud at Milan.

Loftus-Cheek is Milan's top priority as they rebuild their midfield. Following an injury to his achilles in 2019, the 27-year-old has struggled to hold down a place at Chelsea after spending a season on loan at Fulham.

Chelsea need to trim their squad after spending heavily under the ownership of Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital. Mauricio Pochettino is poised to be named as their manager, taking over in June.
