Primarily focusing on trying to sign Charles De Ketelaere, Milan put a deal for Hakim Ziyech on the back burner.
The Chelsea player wants to leave Stamford Bridge, where he has never managed to full break through, especially under Thomas Tuchel.
That being said, finding him a landing spot hasn’t been easy, especially since Milan only want a specific kind of deal that would see them get help for the Morocco international’s wages.
This has led them to move away from it all, but he’s not the only player they have been speaking to Chelsea about, as Milan are trying to get something sorted for Tiemoue Bakayoko.
The midfielder was loaned to the Italian side for two years last summer, but they now want out after he failed to establish himself under Stefano Pioli.
That’s why Corriere dello Sport explain the Frenchman is ‘on the way out’, as both Valencia and Marseille are said to have approached the player ‘several times’.
Now, an ‘economical agreement’ is being sought with either of these two sides ‘to terminate the loan with Chelsea’, which would be to compensate the Blues for breaking the agreement early.
Something to keep an eye on.
