Chelsea and AC Milan are getting closer to agreeing a deal for Ruben Loftus-Cheek, football.london understands.
As reported at the end of April, Milan made contact with the Blues over a possible move for the 27-year-old midfielder and after weeks of negotiations, an agreement is thought to be quite close. A source has told football.london that Chelsea are open to selling Loftus-Cheek this summer after almost two decades at the club after joining at the age of eight.
Loftus-Cheek started Chelsea's last game of the season recently – in a 1-1 draw with Newcastle United – in what may have been his final match for the Blues. The midfielder clapped all ends of Stamford Bridge as he walked off the pitch as a second-half substitute – with the fans showing their appreciation by giving him a standing ovation.
