MN: Ziyech chooses Roc Nation – the current state of negotiations with Milan

AC Milan are looking to sign both a playmaker and a right winger this summer and Hakim Ziyech could well be the latter, a report claims.

MilanNews reports that while work is being done to sign Charles De Ketelaere for the No.10 role, the management are also working on a player for the right side of the attack who is similar to Ziyech in terms of mould, if not the Moroccan himself.

However, the former Ajax star does not want to lower his salary at the moment and the fact that he has moved to Roc Nation as an agency could be a key part of the story as it is the same agency that oversaw Romelu Lukaku’s move to Inter.

Ziyech has to give up something in terms of salary, as he gets €6m net per season at the moment, and if Chelsea do not contribute to the payment of part of it then there could be complications.

Milan will pay up to €4-4.5m per year but eventually their internal salary ceiling must be revised upwards because the valuable players get paid and that is what is needed in order to take the next step in Europe.
