AC Milan and Juventus Target Chelsea's Struggling Ziyech for Summer Transfer

AC Milan and Juventus, who are closely monitoring the situation of Moroccan international Hakim Ziyech, intend to negotiate his transfer by next summer. Since the arrival of the new Blues coach Thomas Tuchel, the former Ajax Amsterdam star has been left on the bench.

Arrived at Chelsea last summer, Hakim Ziyech has scored two goals and provided four assists in 19 appearances, in all competitions. The Moroccan international has not played Chelsea’s last three Premier League matches, as new coach Thomas Tuchel believes he has not yet adapted to the methods and rigors of the Premier League. "For me, it’s clear that he has to adapt to this type of football, to this type of championship," he said.

Recalling that the Moroccan striker comes from the Dutch league, from a solid Ajax team, the German tactician stressed that it is not the same intensity and competition in the Premier League. According to him, the Moroccan international has qualities. "We want to push him to the same level of performance that he showed there and that’s our job," he added.

AC Milan and Juventus, who are monitoring the Moroccan’s situation at Chelsea, want to have him in their respective squads, reports Calciomercatoweb. If the situation persisted, these two European clubs intend to offer him better prospects. Chelsea had bought Ziyech for 45 million euros. The contract will expire in June 2025.
