Hakim Ziyech is a target of Milan and the Rossoneri and Chelsea are trying to find the right formula for the deal.

After sealing the renewals of Paolo Maldini and Frederic Massara, Milan can now finally begin strengthening the squad of coach Stefano Pioli.

A serious target of the club, according to Sky Sport’s Gianluca Di Marzio and others, is Chelsea’s 29-year-old attacking midfielder Hakim Ziyech.

Di Marzio reports that on Friday there were ‘important contacts’ between Milan and The Blues – both newly-owned by Americans – and that contacts will continue to take place over the next few days. The Diavolo are looking for the right formula for the operation, but ‘there is confidence’.

It is believed that Milan are pushing for a loan with option to buy. Ziyech is believed to have given his availability to join the Campioni d’Italia and play under Pioli next season.
