AC Milan is reportedly preparing to downsize its workforce by allowing Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Fikayo Tomori to depart. The club’s leadership is allegedly deciding not to extend the contracts of the two English internationals, which are set to expire in June 2027. This move is driven by financial objectives, as their departures could save the club nearly 10 million euros in gross annual salaries and free up resources to recruit players more closely aligned with manager Ruben Amorim’s tactical project. Loftus-Cheek has struggled to secure a regular starting position, while position and has faced scrutiny regarding his performance levels. Statistical data from the start of the Serie A season indicates he recorded the lowest running distance among players with significant minutes, leading Milan to freeze contract renewal negotiations. If a performance turnaround does not occur, he may leave the club as a free agent in June, though several Premier League clubs and Juventus are monitoring the situation. Tomori has also faced limited playing time. time and has yet to feature in competitive action this season. While he was reintegrated into the squad after Milan failed to secure other defensive reinforcements, his future remains uncertain. To avoid losing both players for free, AC Milan has reportedly offered Tottenham Hotspur the opportunity to sign the duo during the January transfer window. Beyond Tottenham, several Premier League clubs have been contacted regarding their availability, including Newcastle United, Everton, Crystal Palace, Nottingham Forest, Fulham, United and Sunderland. Tottenham have since made formal enquiries regarding the pair. Newcastle United has emerged as a primary interest for Fikayo Tomori. The club is currently specifically monitoring the 28-year-old central defender as a potential addition during the January transfer window to address defensive vulnerabilities under manager Matthias Jaissle. Jaissle’s tactical approach, which utilizes an elevated defensive line and intense pressing, has left the squad exposed to high numbers of opposition shots. With Tomori’s contract set to expire in June 2027, Newcastle may seek a cost-effective deal to provide Jaissle, seeking experienced support for aging defenders Dan Burn and Fabian Schär.
