AC Milan Renews Pursuit of Chelsea’s Hakim Ziyech Amid Sterling Signing

After the failure of the negotiations at the beginning of the month, AC Milan has resumed contact with Chelsea to recruit the Moroccan international Hakim Ziyech, reports CalcioMercato. The Italian club hopes to reach an agreement with the London club. This resumption of negotiations comes at a time when Thomas Tuchel has concluded a £50 million contract for Manchester City striker Raheem Sterling. The arrival of the English international has diminished the chances of the Atlas Lion to continue his adventure with the Blues.

Arrived from Ajax in the summer of 2020 as part of an initial 35 million euro contract, 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 games and won the Champions League (championship), the Club World Cup and the Super Cup. Performances that are far from satisfying the London club’s management, who are looking to strengthen their team.
