AC Milan sign Chelsea's Ruben Loftus-Cheek in €21m deal

He will replace Italy’s Sandro Tonali, who is set to move to Newcastle.

RUBEN LOFTUS-CHEEK HAS signed for AC Milan from Chelsea, the Serie A club announced on Friday.

Midfielder Loftus-Cheek arrives at Milan for a reported fee of around €21 million after spending his entire career as a Chelsea player, apart from two loan spells at Crystal Palace and Fulham.

Milan said in a statement that Loftus-Cheek has signed a four-year contract which Italian media report is worth €4m a season.

The 27-year-old joins fellow England international and Chelsea Academy graduate Fikayo Tomori at the San Siro.

He will replace Italy’s Sandro Tonali, who is set to move to Newcastle for around €80m as Milan take a new direction without Paolo Maldini.

Milan icon Maldini was sacked from his role as technical director alongside sporting director Frederic Massara earlier this month, a move which angered fans.

Loftus-Cheek has 10 international caps although he hasn’t featured for England since 2018.

He will not be the only Chelsea youth product to leave this summer as Mason Mount is set for a big-money move to Manchester United.
