Ruben Loftus-Cheek Contemplates Departure from AC Milan to Enhance England World Cup Prospects

Limited Opportunities Prompt Consideration for Transfer

AC Milan’s Ruben Loftus-Cheek is reportedly weighing the possibility of leaving the club in an effort to improve his chances of being selected for England’s World Cup squad.

The 29-year-old midfielder surprised many by earning a spot in Thomas Tuchel’s England team last October. He stepped onto the pitch for the final 20 minutes during a convincing 3-0 victory against Wales.

A Comeback After Injury

This recent call-up marked Loftus-Cheek’s first appearance for the national team since 2019, following a significant Achilles injury he sustained while still playing for Chelsea.

As per reports from Calciomercato.com, Loftus-Cheek is keen on securing a transfer to increase his likelihood of being included in the England squad for next summer’s tournament.

Despite his talents, the midfielder has faced limited playing time under Max Allegri, with only four starts out of 12 Serie A matches this season.

Potential Interest from Other Teams

Speculation suggests that Napoli could be interested in acquiring Loftus-Cheek amid their ongoing issues with injuries in the midfield. Additionally, Maurizio Sarri’s Lazio is also reported to be keen on the player.
