As has been reported by Calciomercato.com, a move for either player would not be straightforward. As for Ziyech, there have been regular contacts between Chelsea and Milan to try and strike a January.
The issue is that the Moroccan star would want a salary of more than €6 million, which is more than the salary cap that Milan had set. There is a lack of willingness between the two clubs for a dry loan deal.
AS Roma’s Zaniolo is a player that Paolo Maldini is immensely fond of but it would be very expensive operation as the Giallorossi do not want to let the Italian leave without receiving a hefty transfer fee. He is also very injury prone.
