AC Milan fans are eager to see their club make mercato moves to strengthen the squad of Stefano Pioli. The two directors Paolo Maldini and Frederic Massara are yet to put pen to paper on contract renewals, but according to different sources, today may be the day for the official announcement.
Once both directors renew, they will officially get into the transfer market as there are quite a few players who are linked with a move to the San Siro.
In the last few hours, Hakim Ziyech has been offered to AC Milan by intermediaries as he is keen on leaving the Stamford Bridge and the system of coach Thomas Tuchel. For the Rossoneri directors, this can be a great opportunity because the 29-year-old player in question can play in two positions: right-wing and attacking midfield. He is considered as a top player.
According to what is reported by Calciomercat.com, the Rossoneri directors Paolo Maldini and Frederic Massara let the agent of Ziyech know that they are very much interested in bringing the player to the San Siro. They are willing to get into negotiations with the Blues but only under the right conditions.
In fact, the two Italian managers made it clear that there should be no extraordinary requests in terms of the salary negotiations as the club is following guidelines and parameters that cannot be ignored. An effort can be made but without forgetting the balance that must remain with the other top players of the squad, writes the source.
The formula of the transfer of Hakim Ziyech is also very important: AC Milan would be open to signing on a loan deal for a paid fee of 5 million euros with a buy-obligation set at around 20 to 25 million euros.
Now, the ball is in Chelsea's court to evaluate the situation of the player and also to see if a negotiation can be opened with the Rossoneri. The deal is difficult, but, the Milan fans may still be hopeful as they can count on the excellent relationships between the American owners of the clubs and the great desire of Ziyech to leave and wear the Rossoneri shirt.
