Chelsea attacker Hakim Ziyech is said to be keen to sign for long-standing suitors AC Milan in this summer’s transfer window with Thomas Tuchel ready to part ways with the former Ajax man.
Ziyech has fallen down the pecking order at Stamford Bridge in recent times and his misfiring run of displays last season have convinced Chelsea to cash in on the attacking midfielder for a sizable fee.
AC Milan are working on many deals. Negotiations ongoing with Chelsea for Hakim Ziyech, the player wants to join Milan this summer. 🔴 #ACMilan

AC Milan have long been credited with a strong interest in moving in for the Morrocan international and transfer guru Fabrizio Romano has claimed that the Serie A champions are working on a deal to bring Ziyech to San Siro.
Ziyech heading out the exit door at Chelsea will be the second high-profile departure from Tuchel’s attacking ranks following Belgium international Romelu Lukaku re-signing for Inter Milan in a season-long loan deal.
The Blues have enjoyed a good working relationship on the business front with AC Milan with Olivier Giroud and Fikayo Tomori both leaving the Bridge to sign for the Italian heavyweights over the past year.
