"When Loftus-Cheek joined Milan under Stefano Pioli, there was a lot of excitement about what he could do. In his first year, he proved that people were correct to hope with him, as he recorded one of his best ever seasons. Unfortunately, it has rarely gone like that since then. What to do? In just a few days, as MilanNews writes, the Englishman will enter his 30s."
"As a squad player, he is a fantastic option, and he provides Massimiliano Allegri with a versatile profile which cannot be found easily. However, his €4 million salary can quickly look like a burden, even if he gets the benefits from the Growth Decree. So, the question must be asked, what does the Rossoneri do from here. Earlier today, Fabrizio Romano reported that renewal discussions had started, but the report insinuates that there will likely be no interest in lowering his current wage."
Ruben Loftus-Cheek delivered a strong first season at AC Milan but has been inconsistent since. He will soon turn 30 and transition from a player of potential to one in the later stages of his career. He provides Massimiliano Allegri with valuable squad versatility, but his €4 million annual salary can strain the club’s finances even with Growth Decree benefits. Renewal discussions have begun, with limited willingness to reduce his wage. Interest from the Premier League exists and Loftus-Cheek could leave on a free transfer in 18 months if no agreement is reached. Sporting director Igli Tare and Allegri must decide.
