Serie A giants reopen contacts to sign Chelsea attacker

Serie A giants AC Milan have re-entered talks with Chelsea to sign Hakim Ziyech, according to Calciomercato.

The Morocco international has spent the past two seasons with the Blues, but has been tipped for a fresh challenge this summer.

Milan failed with an initial round of talks this month, but they have now restarted negotiations with the Blues for the winger.

Ziyech has already agreed personal terms with the Rossoneri, and it is upto the Blues to finalise a suitable agreement with Milan.

Chelsea prefer to offload him on a permanent basis, but the Serie A champions are eyeing a loan deal with a buy option of €20 million.

It is looking likely that the Blues will accept the proposal, given Ziyech is not expected to play a big part in Tuchel's plans next term.

With the arrival of Raheem Sterling, Ziyech's chances of starting have reduced further. If he stays, he could be a regular on the bench.
