AC Milan pushing for loan move for Chelsea defender Antonio Rudiger

AC Milan has joined a long queue made of clubs willing to sign Chelsea centre-back Antonio Rudiger, according to Gianluca Di Marzio.

The 27-year-old has not played a single game this season and would consider leaving Chelsea on loan.

Milan, meanwhile, pursues Schalke centre-back Ozan Kabak but as the clubs can't agree on the price, Rudiger has emerged as an alternative.

However, as per The Athletic, the centre-back prefers to join Tottenham with Jose Mourinho giving the green light to a season-long deal for the player.

Understandably, Chelsea would prefer not to loan him out to the direct rivals, so all the alternative options will surely be explored.
