AC Milan still pushing for Hakim Ziyech — foot11.com
Will Hakim Ziyech’s future be with Chelsea? Nothing is less certain now. The Moroccan winger, brilliant during this 2022 World Cup, did not have the opportunity to show off his talent with the Blues. Since the start of the season, the Moroccan international has only played 271 minutes with chelsea in all competitions, in 9 matches. That’s about 30 minutes per appearance on the pitch. A situation that could very quickly be settled by AC Milan.
A loan with an option to purchase indicated
Thus, as revealed by Gazzetta dello Sport, AC Milan were still considering signing Hakim Ziyech. The profile of the Moroccan international had already appeared on the table this summer, without the deal succeeding. The Rossoneri have since kept an eye on the Moroccan international, and his performances at the 2022 World Cup have once again convinced the Lombard club.
However, AC Milan would not currently have the financial capacity to complete a dry transfer. The Rossoneri leaders were therefore preparing an offer articulated around a loan from January, for 6 months. A loan which would therefore be accompanied by a purchase option, in the amount of €15m, which they could activate at the end of the season.
Hakim Ziyech ready to lower his salary
Besides, AC Milan could see the negotiations facilitated by the player. Indeed, Hakim Ziyech would already be ready to give up part of his important salary at Chelsea. The Moroccan international Currently receives 6M€, and just like this summer, he could revise his claims downwards to facilitate his transfer.
AC Milan, for its part, could offer him emoluments of 4 to 4.5 million euros per year. A salary lower than that which he receives at the Blues, but with a much greater consideration within the workforce. Hakim Ziyech would therefore join Fikayo Tomori and Olivier Giroud, also passed through Chelsea and put in the closet. Let’s hope for the same success for the Moroccan international…
