Milan have reportedly paid around £15million as RLC bids to revive his injury-hit career.

He's the latest of many ex-Chelsea youth players to depart over the past decade despite winning international honours.

It follows Manchester United agreeing a £60m transfer for Blues' 24-year-old playmaker Mason Mount.

Loftus-Cheek's new team-mate Tomori, 25, is another England ace eased out of Stamford Bridge by an influx of foreign buys.

Milan are also understood to be monitoring Chelsea winger Callum Hudson Odoi.

The Three Lions' winger, 22, has also been linked with Fulham and Nottingham Forest.

Former Chelsea and Arsenal striker Olivier Giroud, 36, is also at Milan.

Stefano Pioli's men finished a disappointing fourth in Serie A.

All his England caps came in 2017 and 2018.
