MN: Loftus-Cheek’s priority is and always has been Milan renewal after January rumours

It seemed Ruben Loftus-Cheek was heading to the door in January. However, the Englishman instead preferred to stay at AC Milan. 

Throughout January, there was enough to suggest that Loftus-Cheek was going to leave Milan. He reportedly wanted more playing time, which the Rossoneri could not give him, so he could get a spot in England’s World Cup squad.

Options were aplenty too, with a few Premier League clubs showing interest, whilst Italian and German teams also considered taking a punt on the midfielder. However, he rejected an exit, with his intentions now clear.

Loftus-Cheek’s position

As MilanNews reports, after the confirmation of the renewal situation this morning, Loftus-Cheek is prioritising a future with the Diavolo, and this has been the case for a while now. This is shown in the fact that the parties have already begun renewal talks.

Things are positive and there is even hope of an agreement within the next few months. A few bits still need to be clarified, such as the expiration date, but it seems that an agreement until 2030 is likely at this moment.

There is time in hand, too, considering his deal expires next summer. However, strengthening their position now is only a good thing for all parties.
