CM: Maldini ‘in love’ with Chelsea winger who wants to join Milan

AC Milan’s interest in Hakim Ziyech remains concrete and an important update has arrived from the player’s side, a report claims.

According to a report from Calciomercato.com, Paolo Maldini and Ricky Massara are ‘in love’ with Ziyech as they believe that he is not only a good fit from a technical point of view given that he is a left-footed right winger, but they believe his character is right for the club too.

Last Friday, Milan had a conversation with Ziyech to reaffirm their willingness to make a new concrete attempt with Chelsea to sign him, and it emerged from those talks that the Morocco international wants to join Milan and wants to play at San Siro next season.

At the moment Milan are the preferred destination compared to the other opportunities that his representative has offered him amid a rift with head coach Thomas Tuchel. Maldini and Massara are still working on De Ketelaere, but the Ziyech track is more alive than ever.
