Hakim Ziyech may face a summer transfer. AC Milan are reportedly interested in signing the Moroccan international from Chelsea. La Gazzetta dello Sport has cleared a spot for the ex-Ajacied on the front page on Tuesday. In addition to Ziyech, AC Milan would also like to bring Olivier Giroud to the San Siro, while Fikayo Tomori is definitively the Blues takes over.

According to the Italian sports newspaper, the AC Milan club management has already contacted Chelsea to take over Ziyech. The attacking midfielder annex winger left Ajax a year ago for Stamford Bridge. Where he could regularly count on a base place under manager Frank Lampard, he has played less since the appointment of Thomas Tuchel.

The defender had been active on a rental basis for the Italian top club since the winter and made an excellent impression. It made the club management of Milan decide to exercise the purchase option of 28.5 million euros. However, the club has not yet officially confirmed the takeover of Tomori. Giroud appeared to be on his way to Milan on a free transfer, but Chelsea have lifted the option in his contract, which means that he is stuck for an extra year. Despite this, Milan remains very interested in the 34-year-old striker.
