Tuttosport: Loftus-Cheek’s goals contributing to rising renewal chances – the situation

Before the January mercato, it was reported that Ruben Loftus-Cheek was in the dark, with no plans to extend his AC Milan deal. Now, things are changing. 

Loftus-Cheek’s case is a strange one. For most of last month, it seemed he was heading away from Milan, with chances slim and a World Cup place to fight for. However, the Englishman rejected exits and stayed to fight.

Since then, that decision has looked correct. With two goals in the past two games, Massimiliano Allegri has found new life in the midfielder, and now there could be a new hope for his future in Milano.

Goals for renewal

Throughout this season, Allegri has considered the Englishman as a last-ditch forward option, and he has often fulfilled that role. He has scored vital goals and whilst he may not be the typical striker, he has been effective as the physical front man.

Of course, he is also more than capable of playing in the midfield, too, and it seems that he could return to his natural position against Como, thanks to Adrien Rabiot’s red card.

As Tuttosport reports, via MilanNews, his most recent goals have strengthened the chances of a renewal, given he is proving his value to the Rossoneri. Talks are underway and his recent performances will only increase his chances of a renewal before next summer.
