One of the issues Milan need to resolve during the January transfer window concerns Ruben Loftus-Cheek, who currently finds himself at a crossroads over his future: staying at Milan or leaving, with several clubs already showing interest.
Loftus-Cheek, what next?
The English midfielder is appreciated by Massimiliano Allegri, who has often spoken highly of his qualities and versatility in press conferences. As a result, he has featured regularly in the first part of the season, making 17 appearances across all competitions, with 1 goal and 1 assist, as pointed out by MilanPress.it.
The 1996-born player is not an undisputed starter, but he has almost always been used as a substitute, either in attack or in midfield, often stepping in for injured teammates and carving out a respectable amount of playing time.
His main objective remains earning a place in England’s squad for the 2026 World Cup, and the minutes he has received so far might not be enough. The strongest interest comes from Maurizio Sarri’s Lazio, who would move for him in the event of a major sale and where he would be a key figure in midfield, as well as from Besiktas, although they play in a less competitive league.
A departure could therefore guarantee him more regular playing time, but in less prominent environments, which could mean England head coach Tuchel keeps a closer eye on him. In any case, a decision needs to be made quickly by both parties, because having a player full of doubts would serve no one.
