Hakim Ziyech set for Chelsea exit as AC Milan consider bid

Former Ajax attacker Hakim Ziyech could be departing Stamford Bridge as soon as the January transfer window reopens, as Italian club and Serie A champions AC Milan prepare an offer for the player. It is understood that the San Siro club are ready to pay around 25 million euros for Ziyech, and are confident that an agreement can be reached for the player.

The 29-year-old has slipped down the pecking order at Chelsea, and there is no indication that new manager Graham Potter sees the Moroccan international as a part of his long-term plans at the club.

Immensely talented, but often overlooked since arriving from Ajax in 2020, Ziyech has only managed six goals in a total of 49 games for the Blues, and this season the player has been restricted to just three Premier League starts.

Ziyech is expected to be a regular at the upcoming World Cup tournament, and that will be a perfect opportunity for the player to showcase his obvious talent on the global stage. AC Milan are also set to do battle with a few other teams interested, as PSV Eindhoven have emerged as another potential destination for the versatile midfielder.
