Borussia Dortmund would like to sign Hakim Ziyech on loan from Chelsea in the January transfer window.
That’s according to BILD, who say the Moroccan’s €10m a year salary at Stamford Bridge means the German side can only really look at a loan deal.
The newspaper explains that Dortmund boss Marco Rose is looking to get a ‘new star’ in the winter window, and Chelsea’s Ziyech and Borussia Monchengladbach’s Denis Zakaria are on his list.
Ziyech has found himself out of the picture at Chelsea this season, only managing to obtain a ‘noble joker’ role under Thomas Tuchel.
So far, he has just ten Premier League appearances to his name, with one goal in them, a situation that has led to ‘frustration’ for a player who was the star of the show at former club Ajax.
Dortmund would like to bring him in, but because the attacking midfielder earns ‘well over’ €10m a year in salary and still has three years left on his contract at Chelsea, Dortmund are ‘considering’ a loan with an option to buy.
Whether Chelsea will accept such a deal or even consider letting ZIyech leave isn’t mentioned, but that is the deal Dortmund intend to propose nonetheless.
