Milan are pushing to sign Morocco winger Hakim Ziyech from Chelsea and are reportedly ready to make their first offer. The Rossoneri came close to agreeing a move for the player in the summer but a transfer failed to materialise before the close of the transfer window.
According to La Gazzetta Dello Sport, Milan have held a long-standing interest in Ziyech who has helped his national team all the way to the quarter-finals of the World Cup in Qatar.
Gazzetta suggest the Diavoli will make a new effort to sign the winger in January, offering Chelsea a loan with an option to buy worth €15 million.
For his part, Ziyech is reportedly willing to join Milan where he’s expected to get more playing time, given he has featured sparingly at Stamford Bridge this season. The 29-year-old is also open to cutting his €6m-a-year wages in an effort to help push through a move to Milan in January.
The Rossoneri are expected to offer Ziyech between €4-4.5m a season but could use the Italian Growth Decree to improve their offer.
