Premier League
AC Milan is interested in strengthening its midfield and has set its sights on Edson Álvarez. The Italian team, currently managed by Paulo Fonseca, is looking for a player to provide solidity and quality in the holding midfield role, viewing the Mexican as an ideal option to bolster its squad.
The rossoneri, who have not had the best start to the season in Serie A and the UEFA Champions League, are willing to offer Ruben Loftus-Cheek as part of a swap deal in order to convince the London team to release the Mexican and also part ways with a player who is not as crucial to the club's project. The English midfielder has a good market in the Premier League due to his strong performances at Chelsea.
Edson Álvarez, on AC Milan's radar
Edson Álvarez has had a mixed start to the season in the Premier League under Julen Lopetegui, who has also failed to give the team a boost following summer signings, but he continues to attract interest from top European clubs. Despite being signed as a replacement for Declan Rice, who moved to Arsenal, his impact at the English club has been inconsistent, opening up the possibility of a potential exit in the upcoming transfer windows.
The Mexican international has played almost 50 games with the Hammers, scoring occasionally and displaying flashes of his defensive quality, though without establishing himself as an indispensable player.
AC Milan, which is also exploring other midfield options due to uncertainty surrounding Ismael Bennacer's future and the interest of several top clubs in signing Tijjani Reijnders, who had a strong Euro with the Netherlands, believes that including Loftus-Cheek could facilitate the negotiation. The English midfielder, who has had a decent season with the Italian team, might be the key player to convince West Ham to accept the deal.
