It is far from boring at Stamford Bridge. The Blues have been saying farewells one after another – Kante, Koulibaly, Mendy, Havertz, Kovacic, Bakayoko… And as announced in the previous days, Ruben Loftus-Cheek (27) left to become AC Milan’s first reinforcement this summer. The club from San Siro made official the deal worth 20,000,000 euros.The Englishman is coming to replace Sandro Tonali (Newcastle), and the Rossoneri will pay 16,000,000 first, and another 4,000,000 through bonuses.AC Milan had a lot of problems in the last weeks in the market. Numerous negotiations started by Paolo Maldini came to a dead end when the legendary ace was handed his sack, so Loftus-Cheek is the first acquisition of the seven-time European champion in this transfer window.According to the Italian media, the Englishman will be one of the highest-paid players in the team, with 4,000,000 euros (net) per season. As the contract was signed for four years, the math says that the whole package (including compensation) will cost the famous club 36,000,000 euros.pic.twitter.com/QQyiwSOOmA— Ruben Loftus-Cheek (@RLC) June 30, 2023 As Loftus-Cheek was leaving Stamford Bridge, he held the door for someone to come in. The Blues have made official their latest signing – Nicolas Jackson.Chelsea are slowly but surely completing a new attack. After Christopher Nkunku, the Blues also brought in the former Villarreal forward, activating the release clause of 35,000,000 euros.The London club signed an eight-year contract with the player, who scored 13 goals last season, with five assists, until July 2031.Jackson (22) joined the ranks of the Yellow Submarine as a youth player from the Senegalese Casa Sports, and became a first-team player in the previous season. He completely exploded at the end of the season, scoring nine goals in the last eight rounds.… Nic Jackson! 💙 pic.twitter.com/IRFcrXnXf6— Chelsea FC (@ChelseaFC) June 30, 2023 The Blues got a young, extremely fast player, reminiscent of Kai Havertz, who did not fulfill what was expected of him at Stamford Bridge, but Arsenal still paid 70,000,000 euros for him. Together with Nkunku, Jackson is expected to bring new energy to Chelsea’s attack and perhaps represent a winning combination for a return to the very top of English football next season.Chelsea, together with the former Leipzig striker, spent 97,000,000 euros in the current transfer window. On the other hand, from the sale of Havertz, Kovacic, Koulibaly, Mendy and Loftus-Cheek, 156,000,000 euros have flowed to Stamford Bridge so far, N’Golo Kante and Tiemoue Bakayoko have gone home as free agents. Along with Loftus-Cheek, Christian Pulisic is close to leaving and AC Milan could also be his next station.The sale of Mason Mount to Manchester United is expected soon for compensation of around 70,000,000 euros, including bonuses.##NAJAVA_MECA_7347755##
