Celtic FC Reach Personal Agreement with Ruben Loftus-Cheek on Free Transfer from AC Milan
Celtic FC have reportedly reached a personal agreement with Ruben Loftus-Cheek over a move to Glasgow, with the experienced midfielder set to arrive on a free transfer from AC Milan. The potential deal has generated significant excitement among Celtic supporters, who see the former Chelsea and England international as a major addition to the squad.
Loftus-Cheek, known for his strength, athleticism, technical ability and versatility, could bring a completely different dimension to Celtic’s midfield.
His ability to carry the ball forward, operate between the lines and contribute defensively could make him an important player in Brendan Rodgers’ plans.
The midfielder began his senior career at Chelsea, progressing through the club’s academy before establishing himself in the first team. During his time at Stamford Bridge, Loftus-Cheek gained valuable experience competing at the highest level, including domestic competitions and European football. He also earned international recognition with England.
His career later took him to Fulham on loan before another temporary spell at Crystal Palace, where he demonstrated his ability to influence matches from midfield. Eventually, Loftus-Cheek returned to Chelsea before making the move to Serie A and joining AC Milan.
His time in Italy provided another valuable chapter in his career. Playing in a different tactical environment and competing in European football helped broaden his experience. However, a move away from Milan now appears increasingly likely, with Celtic emerging as a destination.
For Celtic, the potential signing represents an opportunity to add a player with considerable top-level experience without paying a traditional transfer fee.
While personal terms are reportedly agreed, the final stages of any transfer would still need to be completed, including the necessary formalities and medical checks.
Celtic are expected to be competing on several fronts this season, with domestic success remaining a major objective
