Loftus-Cheek is causing discussion. The midfielder is having a’peculiar year at AC Milan. The English midfielder has slipped back in Allegri’s hierarchies after a good start to the season. A starter in the first three league games, the former Chelsea man has lost altitude and has played very little in the last three months, often as a substitute. Too little for the Englishman, who claims space and is looking around for a solution. However, especially in January, it is not easy to find the right fit.

Also because there would be many clubs ready to step up for Loftus-Cheek. For some time there has been talk of a possible swap with Lazio. Biancoceleste coach Sarri has never hidden his esteem for the strong Rossoneri midfielder. Now there is talk of his possible return to the Premier League. Aston Villa would be willing to make a big bid to snatch him from the Diavolo, also because Kamara’s injury forces the English club to look for some reinforcements in the middle of the field.

However, the Rossoneri club does not seem at all willing to let Loftus-Cheek leave. On the contrary, there are rumors of a dialogue to see whether or not there are conditions to renew his current contract, which expires in June 2027. There are two obstacles, namely the player&#8217s age, which is no longer very green (class of 1996), and the salary, which is already quite significant, considering that the Englishman collects about four million euros per season, not exactly a low level salary.

Loftus-Cheek is also reportedly interested in other Premier League clubs, and some Bundesliga clubs have also made inquiries about him. In addition to the Englishman, Milan is also considering the position of Estupiñán, who has currently disappointed in the Rossoneri.

In short, we will soon understand what will be the future of several players currently on the sidelines at Milan. Above all, news is expected on the Loftus-Cheek front, which has arrived at the classic crossroads: either he packs his bags and leaves or he renews and remains Rossoneri for much longer.
