Ruben Loftus-Cheek now looks to be the next Chelsea player out of the exit door with the Blues agreeing a deal - that will eventually rise to £18million - with AC Milan for the midfielder.
As reported by football.london on Tuesday afternoon, the 27-year-old is set to move to the San Siro on a permanent basis with the Milan-based outfit paying Chelsea £15 million up front and a further £3m in add-ons at a later date. Loftus-Cheek has 12 months remaining on his contract at Chelsea and the club placed him up for sale as he was not deemed part of their future plans.
There are a lot of players in the same boat. Whether it's in the final 12 months or two years of their deal, Chelsea are considering moving on a number of unwanted players.
