Longo: Milan hold new talks with Chelsea over Ziyech but Everton are lurking

AC Milan have set their sights on Hakim Ziyech once again as they have given up on signing Nicolo Zaniolo from Roma. However, just like the latter, this isn’t an easy operation for the Rossoneri. 

Ziyech has been linked with a move to Milan for many months and as the links died out in recent weeks, the matter seemed settled. However, after missing out on Zaniolo, the Rossoneri have turned to the winger again.

According to Calciomercato.com, Milan recently held talks with Chelsea over Ziyech and the idea is a loan, either dry or with a buy-out option. Everton are also interested and could make an offer for a permanent move, which could complicate things.

Of course, Milan aren’t able to offer as much salary-wise either compared to the Premier League sides. It remains to be seen if there will be an opening for Paolo Maldini and Ricky Massara to snatch Ziyech, because they will surely pounce if so.
