According to talkSPORT, Chelsea midfielder Ruben Loftus-Cheek is willing to take a pay cut to push through a summer move to AC Milan.

The report adds: “The Italian giants are in advanced talks with Chelsea over a move for the England international, with former teammate Fikayo Tomori understood to be encouraging him to join him at the San Siro.

“As a result, Loftus-Cheek is willing to take a pay cut, the player is believed to be on more than £150,000-a-week at Stamford Bridge, in order to force through a move away.

“It’s been a frustrating time for the Chelsea academy graduate with injuries seeing him struggled to live up to the early hype in his career.

“Now 27 years of age, Loftus-Cheek is looking to prioritise regular first-team football as he looks to move away from west London.”
