TMW: Milan rule themselves out of the race to sign Chelsea winger

AC Milan have ruled themselves out of the race to sign winger Hakim Ziyech from Chelsea this summer, according to a report.

It was reported by the Evening Standard last night that Ziyech is not happy with his situation at Chelsea and is exploring an exit from Stamford Bridge. He has made it known all summer that he would like to join Milan, with his former team-mate Romelu Lukaku even recommending the Moroccan to the Rossoneri.

According to the latest from TMW however, the Rossoneri are in fact out of the race for Ziyech. The winger has been extensively linked in recent weeks and was a target, but now he is no longer among the possible options being considered.

Meanwhile, the report adds that the hypothesis of a return for Franck Kessié must be forgotten immediately despite the saga surrounding the Ivorian’s contract with Barcelona.
