AC Milan demanding €20 million for Ruben Loftus-Cheek amid Newcastle United links
AC Milan will demand at least €20 million to sell Ruben Loftus-Cheek amid emerging links from the Premier League.
According to Milan Live, Ruben Loftus-Cheek could leave AC Milan in January if an interested club can pay €20 million at the very least. The Serie A giants could consider approaches for the English midfielder, as Newcastle United are among those interested in exploring a move for the 29-year-old midfielder.
Ruben Loftus-Cheek appears to have caught up on his form, as Massimiliano Allegri can use him in the right way. The performances this season have not been up to the mark, although the 29-year-old Serie A midfielder is showing signs of improvement.
Loftus-Cheek had a terrible season last time out, as injuries derailed his campaign, which did result in some links with a move away from AC Milan. Ahead of the winter transfer window, there are many Premier League sides showing some interest in the 29-year-old midfielder, including Newcastle United.
The Magpies have been in the market for a midfielder who could operate in different roles, including the one behind the central striker. Names like Arda Guler have been mentioned recently, with reports stating that Newcastle United have actively watched the Turkish star in action, although any deal to bring him from Real Madrid is close to impossible at this moment.
Athletic Club’s Oihan Sancet is another option the Magpies have considered recently, and once again, the problem in any deal might stem from the asking price. There’s also competition for Sancet, which adds an extra layer of complication for Newcastle United. Hence, from many angles, Ruben Loftus-Cheek could be viewed as a key option for the position Eddie Howe wants to cover in January.
AC Milan will demand €20 million for Ruben Loftus-Cheek
AC Milan are reportedly open to offers in the range of €20 million for Loftus-Cheek, which might come to interest Newcastle United. Howe could view him as someone who fits into his style of play, as well as adds versatility to his midfield.
Ruben Loftus-Cheek is contracted until 2027, meaning in January, he will have 18 months to run on his deal, making it an ideal time for AC Milan to cash in. Whether the Magpies are serious about the midfielder who has not been consistent for long periods remains to be seen, but he could be a good option to help improve areas of their midfield.
