"The paper announce that the former Chelsea man isn't likely to leave for Lazio in January. The primary reason is Allegri, because he 'considers him very important for the team'. Despite Maurizio Sarri's advances - a coach he worked well with in London - RLC isn't expected to go anywhere. Even if there were an agreement to begin negotiations, a financial problem would still remain. Loftus-Cheek's salary of €4m net per season would significantly complicate any potential negotiations to take him to the capital."
"The love affair between him and Sarri is thus shattered by the third wheel, Allegri. It seems equally unlikely that Lazio will be able to meet Milan's financial demands, as they paid around €19m for the Englishman from Chelsea and won't let him go for less. So, it seems that Ruben is set to stay for another few months at least."
AC Milan could raise funds in the winter window, but Ruben Loftus-Cheek is not expected to leave in January. Loftus-Cheek started the away match against Cagliari, underlining his importance to Massimiliano Allegri. Allegri considers him a very important member of the squad, making a loan or sale unlikely despite Maurizio Sarri's interest. Financial obstacles further block a January move: Loftus-Cheek earns €4m net per season and Milan paid around €19m to sign him from Chelsea, limiting Lazio's ability to meet demands. The contract expires at the end of next season, so renewal talks or a summer departure are likely.
