Chelsea winger, Hakim Ziyech, has reportedly told the clubâs board he wants to leave Stamford Bridge this summer.
According to Gazzetta dello Sport (via Sport Witness), Ziyech has âlittle connectionâ with the âinflexibleâ Chelsea manager, Thomas Tuchel and has asked the clubâs hierarchy for a move away from the Blues to give his career some ânew impetus.â
The Moroccan, who has struggled to perform consistently since joining Chelsea, is rumoured to be âfollowing in the footstepsâ of his now-former teammate Romelu Lukaku.
Recall that Lukaku re-joined Inter Milan on loan from Chelsea in the ongoing transfer window, having arrived at the west London club from the Serie A giants only last summer.
Meanwhile, AC Milan are reportedly one of the clubs interested in helping Ziyech leave Chelsea.
The Rossoneri have put holding talks with Chelsea on their agenda. However, Ziyechâs salary demands could act as a hurdle to a potential transfer.
The former Ajax star notably has a contract running until the summer of 2025 with Chelsea.
