Hakim Ziyech looks increasing likely to leave Chelsea in the January transfer window as AC Milan prepare an opening bid for the playmaker. The 29-year-old, who led Morocco to a historic 2-0 win over Belgium in the World Cup on Sunday evening, has been heavily linked with an exit from Stamford Bridge for some time now amid an uncertain future at the club.
football.london understand that the west Londoners are open to selling the Moroccan should a suitable offer be tabled. It's said that the Serie A champions tabled a bid of €25million (£21m) in the summer - with €5million (£4.2m) to be paid this year and €20million (£16.8m) the next, but the bid was rejected.
Despite unsuccessful, the Rossoneri reportedly remain interested in Ziyech and are set to table a fresh bid in January. According to Italian newspaper La Gazzetta dello Sport, as quoted by MilanNews, Milan directors Paolo Maldini and Ricky Massara are considering whether to table a six-month loan with a €15million (£13m) option to buy.
