Hakim Ziyech is on the verge of an exit at Chelsea as the Blues wish to see the back of him soon and a Serie A club could renew their interest in him.

Ziyech’s Chelsea career hasn’t gone to plan having struggled to break into the first team at the club and he has been afforded very few opportunities this season under Graham Potter and former boss Thomas Tuchel.

He was sensational at Ajax, which earned him a big money move to Stamford Bridge in 2020 but things haven’t quite been the same since for him in London.

Now, he could be given the chance to leave the club in January, and Milan are circling, with a move to the Serie A side looking like a real possibility.

Ziyech set for exit

Ziyech was linked to a Serie A move back in the summer but nothing materialized as Chelsea were looking for a permanent sale of the Moroccan player.

Roma and Milan were the two clubs looking to sign him and the latter were reportedly close to a deal for the player before backing out as they didn’t want to make a permanent offer.

Now, 90 Min say that Chelsea are open to a loan move for Ziyech as they want to get him off their books, even if it’s on a temporary deal.

Given he has hardly played this season, they see a loan move away from Stamford Bridge as a sensible deal for Ziyech and are prepared to make the deal happen.

Ziyech has been playing for Morocco at the World Cup having been in exile from the squad previously and the Blues are hoping that it can attract more suitors for a potential move.

With the future of Charles De Ketelaere up in the air at Milan, Ziyech could be a good addition to the forward line at Milan and a move would improve the side significantly.
