We have an interesting situation brewing in AC Milan's midfield department. Young talent Aster Vranckx is raring to play, but it seems he has slipped down the pecking order in recent weeks. As Calciomercato.com suggests, this may be a sign that the player could be on his way out at the end of the season.
As reported earlier in the last few weeks and months, the AC Milan club directors, Paolo Maldini and Frederic Massara, are interesting in securing the potential arrival of Ruben Lofus-Cheek from Chelsea. The first contacts date back to the direct confrontation in the Champions League in London between two friendly clubs who are ready to do business in the next summer transfer window, as per the Italy-based website mentioned above.
the key factor in any potential deal will be the price. Loftus-Cheek has struggled to find playing time under Potter, and Chelsea may be looking to offload him for a profit. Early indications suggest that the price tag for the midfielder could be set at around 25 million euros.
Of course, the decision ultimately rests with the player himself. Will he be willing to leave London and join AC Milan's ranks? Only time will tell.
The 27-year-old English player is a Chelsea youth academy product, just like Fikayo Tomori. He has made 23 appearances so far this season with only 1 assist to his name (against AC Milan). He has featured in 1461 minutes overall accross all competitions.
