AC Milan’s interest in the player had been in doubt due to internal issues within the club’s board, but they returned with a strong offer that Chelsea accepted.
Leao, who recently signed a new contract with AC Milan, is excited about the prospect of playing alongside Loftus-Cheek. The Portuguese international had previously been linked with a move to Chelsea, but it appears that speculation will be put to rest for now.
Last season, Loftus-Cheek had a positive individual campaign at Chelsea, despite the team’s lower league position. He received significant playing time under manager Graham Potter, often featuring in a central midfield role. With Reece James facing injury concerns, Loftus-Cheek was deployed in a more advanced attacking position to replicate James’ attacking contributions. Although the desired results were not always achieved, Loftus-Cheek showcased his personal skills and versatility on the big stage.
It seems that Loftus-Cheek’s impending move to AC Milan has generated excitement among both the player himself and his future teammate, Rafael Leao.
