Chelsea Open to Selling Moroccan Winger Ziyech as AC Milan Shows Interest

Chelsea coach Thomas Tuchel and new Chelsea president Todd Boehly are ready to let Moroccan international Hakim Ziyech leave this summer. The latter is said to be in talks with AC Milan.

Arrived from Ajax in the summer of 2020 as part of an initial 35 million euro contract in 2020, Hakim Ziyech has failed to establish himself at Stamford Bridge. He started only 14 of 38 Premier League matches last season. The Moroccan winger has scored 14 goals in 83 matches and won the Champions League (championship), the Club World Cup and the Super Cup. Performances that are far from satisfying the new president of the London club Todd Boehly who is thirsty to strengthen the team.

Chelsea want to acquire the services of Raheem Sterling from Manchester City and Ousmane Dembele from Barcelona and are said to be ready to let their attacking midfielder go. According to Italian journalists, transfer experts Gianluca di Marzio and Fabrizio Romano, Hakim Ziyech wants to leave Chelsea and Chelsea coach Thomas Tuchel and the new owner of the club are ready to "sell" him, reports the website metro.co.uk. The Moroccan international is said to have entered into negotiations with AC Milan and wishes to join the Serie A team. The Italian club has always wanted to recruit the former star of Ajax Amsterdam.
