"I have an important exclusive update," says Fabrizio Romano, making a significant Chelsea exit allegation.
Loftus-Cheek could soon leave Chelsea for AC Milan.
This summer, Stamford Bridge is likely to see a lot of exits, including the Englishman.
According to Fabrizio Romano, Ruben Loftus-Cheek is on the verge of leaving Chelsea and joining AC Milan.
What is the situation between Chelsea and Loftus-Cheek?
Chelsea is about to name Mauricio Pochettino as their next manager after a terrible campaign that resulted in them missing out on European participation.
Chelsea has had to drastically cut the size of its squad due to two spending windows, and it appears that Loftus-Cheek will lead the exodus of players from Stamford Bridge.
Speaking on his YouTube channel, Romano revealed that the 27-year-old, who is eager for a fresh start abroad, and Champions League semifinalist
AC Milan are close to reaching an agreement on a transfer.
According to what I understand, one of the first outgoings will be finished in the coming days, thus I have an important exclusive report on Chelsea. We are aware that they must act wisely and that selling or offloading players as soon as possible in June is a top priority for Chelsea, he said.
According to what I understand, Milan and Ruben Loftus-Cheek are in very advanced negotiations. The player is open to the move, negotiations between the clubs have progressed, and AC Milan are pushing hard on that one.
The talk between the clubs and the player's side is concrete and advanced, so Loftus-Cheek might leave Chelsea and attempt a fresh experience in Italy with Milan leading the race. However, there is still time to debate the details of this transaction.
Chelsea might try to sell someone else.
Given that the £120,000 per week midfielder has never established a starting position at Chelsea since graduating from the academy, Loftus-Cheek's exit appears inevitable. However, the player made 30 appearances this season and could have served as a good backup in the lineup.
Mason Mount, Mateo Kovacic, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, and others have all been linked to departures, while Hakim Ziyech and Edouard Mendy might also be let go as Chelsea looks to replace some of their more experienced players.
To get Chelsea back on track and competitive at the top, Pochettino is believed to want a younger team. The team may try to assemble itself around Mykhailo Mudryk and Enzo Fernandez, in whom the club made significant investments, while locating exits for a number of other players.
