Reportedly, Hakim Ziyech’s representative held talks with AC Milan over a January switch for the struggling player.
The 29-year-old Hakim Ziyech has struggled for chances at Chelsea since he arrived from Ajax in 2020. As a result, he has sought a move away this summer before the club decides to hold onto him.
Drawing from reports, Sebastian Ledure, Ziyech’s representative, has held talks with AC Milan over a move this winter.
The various reports circulating state that Ledure met with Milan chiefs this week over a January move. More so, the Moroccan is believed to be a long-term target of the club.
Legere is said to be on good terms with both Chelsea and Milan and as such would seemingly act as an intermediary should the clubs decide to head to the negotiating table.
Ziyech is said to want to depart from Stamford Bridge in January. Rarely fancied under former coach Thomas Tuchel, Ziyech might have hoped his Chelsea career would have been given a new lease of life under Graham Potter. However, it has not worked out that way.
The former Brighton boss has rarely turned to Ziyech even in times of need.
As such, the former Ajax winger has played only five times this season making only one start in the league in a loss to Southampton.
In total, he has played 172 minutes. He looks unlikely to be afforded many first-team starts with Potter having settled on an attack that has so far delivered for him in his short tenure.
Meanwhile, the player is likely to appear at this winter’s World Cup which could act as an interview of sorts for any potential January move.
Having fallen out with Morocco’s former boss Vahid Halilhodzic, Ziyech retired from international duty. But with him having been sacked in August and replaced by Walid Regragui, the Chelsea man reversed his decision leaving the door ajar for an appearance in Qatar in November.
