Chelsea: Ruben Loftus-Cheek undergoing medical as AC Milan line up Christian Pulisic bid

Nizaar Kinsella29 June 2023

Ruben Loftus-Cheek is in Italy to finalise his £17million move from Chelsea to AC Milan.

The 27-year-old is due to undergo a medical in Milan on Thursday and his departure from Chelsea is expected to be confirmed this week.

Chelsea will receive an initial £14m for Loftus-Cheek, with a further £3m available in performance-related add-ons.

Loftus-Cheek has been at Chelsea since he was eight but hopes a move to Italy can help resurrect his career.

Milan will next target Christian Pulisic but the Serie A giants will not pay more than £17m for the winger, who has just one year left on his contract at Stamford Bridge.

Pulisic is keen to join the mass exodus of Chelsea players, with Edouard Mendy joining Al-Ahli for £17m and Kai Havertz joining Arsenal for £65m yesterday.

Hakim Ziyech will soon join Al-Nassr for £8m after completing his medical in Saudi Arabia.

Chelsea have signed Santos winger Angelo Gabriel in a deal worth £12.6m.

The 18-year-old will join Chelsea’s new sister club Strasbourg, who Chelsea’s owners bought last week, on a season-long loan after signing a five-year contract at Stamford Bridge.
