Chelsea attacking midfielder Hakim Ziyech is expected to leave the club in the next transfer window.
The 29-year-old came to Stamford Bridge with high expectations but has been unable to hold down a regular starting job at the London club.
Ziyech is not a key part of Graham Potter’s plans and needs to leave the club in order to play more often. He has started just once in the league for Chelsea this season.
The 29-year-old has been a standout for Morocco at the World Cup thus far and has helped them reach the quarterfinals of the competition.
He will be hoping to secure a move away from Chelsea once the main event is over.
Journalist Ciro Venerato has now revealed that his move to AC Milan is likely to go through.
Venerato said (h/t Sportwitness): “The Rossoneri are afraid of losing Leao, but in January we will have to understand what to do with Charles De Ketelaere and if we continue to trust him. However, Ziyech’s deal with Chelsea will be 99% done.”
The Italian giants have been interested in signing the Moroccan for a while now, and it will be interesting to see if they can seal that deal.
The midfielder could be a quality acquisition for AC Milan. He will add creativity and goals in the final third for the Italian giants.
The 29-year-old is an exceptional passer in the final third and his ability to create chances with long-range passes will make him an asset for the Rossoneri.
Furthermore, he is quite effective from set pieces and will add a new dimension to AC Milan’s attack.

It’s fair to assume that the player will be available for a nominal fee due to his status at Chelsea and could prove to be a bargain for Milan in the long run.
The midfielder is still at the peak of his powers and could make an immediate impact in Italy. The lower intensity in Serie A is likely to suit him and it remains to be seen if he can rediscover his confidence and form with a move to Italy.
