[Official] Chelsea Have Sold Loftus-Cheek To Milan On A Permanent Basis

The future of Ruben Loftus-Cheek has been announced by Chelsea and AC Milan simultaneously.

Adding to his impressive resume, Loftus-Cheek has made a total of 155 appearances for Chelsea, where he has showcased his talent and contributed 13 goals. Notably, he has been a part of two Premier League championship-winning teams, along with triumphs in the Club World Cup, European Super Cup, and League Cup.

Before Lazio may hold the belief that they can successfully persuade the English midfielder to join their squad, as Loftus-Cheek holds a special place in Sarri's heart from their time together in London.

Loftus-Cheek will be joined by Olivier Giroud and Fikayo Tomori, both former Blues teammates.  Ruben Loftus-Cheek is Milan's second summer signing, following goalkeeper Marco Sportiello.
