Milan ready to make opening bid to sign Ziyech from Chelsea

According to La Gazzetta Dello Sport, Milan are ready to make an opening bid to get Hakim Ziyech from Chelsea on loan with an option to buy for €15m.

The Rossoneri are long-time admirers of the Morocco international who has been shining in Qatar with his national team.

As per La Gazzetta Dello Sport, the Diavoli will make a new attempt to sign the Chelsea winger in January. The plan is to get Ziyech on loan with an option to buy with a transfer package worth circa €15m.

The Morocco star is willing to join Milan where he’d get more playing time than at Stamford Bridge and is reportedly open to cutting his €6m-a-year wages to wear the Rossoneri shirt in the January transfer window.

Milan can offer €4-4.5m per season even if the salary could slightly rise thanks to the Growth Decree which would allow the Rossoneri to save money on taxes.

The 29-year-old was a target of the Serie A giants in the summer before Paolo Maldini and Ricky Massara signed Charles De Ketelaere from Club Brugge for €32m plus add-ons.
