GdS: A price tag and a counter-move - Milan's stance on Loftus-Cheek as Aston Villa circle
"Aston Villa are eyeing Ruben Loftus-Cheek, but AC Milan do not seem to have any intentions of letting him go mid-season. La Gazzetta dello Sport (seen below) confirm Villa's interest in signing Loftus-Cheek this January. However, Milan's stance is clear: the midfielder isn't on the list of players to be sold unless a particularly lucrative offer arrives. That hasn't happened so far."
"In all of this, it's important to remember how valuable Massimiliano Allegri considers the Englishman. So far this season he has showed that he can play at least three positions, having been used as a midfielder, a second striker and even as a wing-back. The counter-move It's no coincidence that Milan have begun contract negotiations in recent months. The current one ties Loftus-Cheek to the Rossoneri until June 2027, with a net salary of approximately €4m per season."
"The Englishman hasn't impressed to the level his salary suggests, but thanks also to the benefits of the Growth Decree, his wages deemed sustainable overall. If anything, doubts may be tied to the contract's duration, and his age given that RLC turns 30 tomorrow. An offer of €15m for a permanent transfer could turn Milan's head. This would likely be the last chance to cash in on the Englishman's departure."
Aston Villa have shown interest in signing Ruben Loftus-Cheek in January, but AC Milan are unwilling to let him go mid-season without a major offer. Massimiliano Allegri values Loftus-Cheek for his versatility, having used him as a midfielder, second striker and wing-back. Milan have started contract talks; the current deal runs until June 2027 with a net salary near €4m per season. Performance has not fully matched that wage, though the Growth Decree makes the contract sustainable. Loftus-Cheek turns 30 soon, and a permanent offer around €15m could prompt Milan to consider selling, which would require replacement planning or alternative spending.
