Serie A champions AC Milan are reportedly confident of signing Chelsea forward Hakim Ziyech after the Moroccan handed in a transfer request. Daily Mail reports that he may be in line for a move to AC Milan.
Ziyech, 29, has encountered a difficult time at Stamford Bridge since arriving from Ajax in 2020 for £36 million. The Moroccan hasn't hit the heights that preceded him in the Eredivisie.
He spent large portions of last season on the bench whilst starting 13 of 44 appearances, scoring eight goals and contributing four assists.
Milan have reportedly held talks with Chelsea as they look to add to their Serie A title-winning squad this summer. Ziyech has been a long-term target for Stefano Poli, with the Rossoneri having tracked the 29- year-old in the past.
But the Italian side are now confident of getting their man this summer with Ziyech having three years left on his deal at Stamford Bridge. A loan deal with an option to buy has been touted rather than a permanent move.
The west Londoners are keen to make back the £33 million they paid back in 2019. Ziyech has quickly fallen down the pecking order at Stamford Bridge with the likes of Mason Mount and Kai Havertz being preferred in the attacking midfield role.
