Earlier on Wednesday, Sport reported Hakim Ziyech’s name is on the table at Barcelona and Chelsea ‘would not object’ to letting him leave on loan in the winter market.

AC Milan looked at the 28-year-old in the summer and he ‘does not disappear from their agenda’ for January, according to Calciomercato.it.

The Serie A side want to bolster their attacking division and have had several names in their target list. Among them is the Morocco international, but Stefano Pioli’s side face ‘intense competition’ from Barcelona to sign him.

It’s claimed the La Liga side showed ‘concrete interest’ in the former Ajax man in the last window. They came forward for a loan deal and were willing to take care of his full wages during his temporary spell, ‘unlike Milan’.

‘Now there is a turning point’ because of the new stance taken by the Champions League winners. ‘Unlike what happened a few months ago’, Thomas Tuchel’s side are open to letting Ziyech go out on loan in next market.

Chelsea prefer to include a ‘redemption option’ or agree to advantageous conditions to make the transfer permanent.

Calciomercato.it back up Barcelona’s interest in Ziyech and state the Catalan club ‘insist’, while Borussia Dortmund, another suitor, are ‘observing the situation in the background’.
