Ruben Loftus-Cheek is certainly one of the players who can benefit from Massimiliano Allegri’s return to AC Milan, a report has claimed.
Allegri is working in synergy with the management to build the squad with precise indications regarding his idea of relaunching the team’s ambitions. Among these, Calciomercato.com report, there is the veto on the sale of the English midfielder.
The sale of Tijjani Reijnders to Manchester City has deprived Milan of a penetrating player and a box-to-box midfielder who scored 10 goals in Serie A last season.
Loftus-Cheek is the only midfielder in the squad to have such a number of goals on his stat sheet as he scored 10 times in the 2023-24 campaign, as part of an impressive first season in Italy with the Rossoneri.
In the minds of the sporting director Igli Tare and the new coach, the former Chelsea player can return to being that player again, with careful management of a physique as explosive as it is fragile. It is an interesting challenge for Milan, who are convinced of the qualities of the 29-year-old.
Loftus-Cheek is described as a sensitive player who needs to feel the trust of his coach to perform at his best. That unconditional trust that he had found without hesitation in the experience lived at Chelsea with Maurizio Sarri.
The Tuscan coach has tried – over the past few weeks – to test the waters to bring him to Lazio. An operation without any success, both due to the block on the market that the Biancoceleste club are currently experiencing and Allegri’s desire to hold on to the player.
The report from Calciomercato.com concludes with the following line: “Allegri in fact wants to relaunch Loftus-Cheek at Milan: this is the final decision.”
