Hakim Ziyech wants to move from Chelsea to AC Milan but will have to take a pay cut if he is to join the Italian champions.
The Moroccan winger is surplus to requirements at Stamford Bridge and Chelsea are willing to let him go for as little as £8.4million.
But the 29-year-old, who is pushing for the switch to last season's Serie 'A' winners, will have to reduce his salary demands if he is to get his wish.
Ziyech is paid around £5million a year by the Blues, a sum Milan cannot afford.
Milan have installed Ziyech as their key target, with club officials believed to be preferring the Chelsea outcast to Club Bruges striker Charles De Ketelaere.
The Italian side's attempts to sign the highly-rated Belgian hit another impasse this week. Milan have tabled a bid of £27million, £4million less than Leeds, and Bruges have told them a deal will not be reached until they increase their offer.
That has led Milan to focus on Ziyech, with head coach Stefano Pioli and technical director Paolo Maldini believing the forward would be better suited to the league than De Ketelaere.
Chelsea and Milan will discuss a deal for Ziyech at their next meeting.
Pioli, who guided Milan to their first Serie 'A title in 11 years last season, is hoping the club can strike an agreement with the Blues to facilitate Ziyech's move to Italy.
Ziyech has failed to live up to his billing since joining Chelsea from Ajax for £33million in 2020. He has made 83 appearances for the Premier League outfit, scoring 14 goals.
Thomas Tuchel feels Ziyech is not disciplined enough tactically and is happy to let him leave in the summer.
Milan also have concerns of their own but they are not enough to halt their pursuit of the player.

ziyech is not disciplined, he was supposed to be another erjen robben but isn't playing up to expectations, he is not a winger defenders are scared of, just look at Mahrez and foden. He should leave, the reason Chelsea put his prize tag and 8.5 million is because Chelsea doesn't really need the money, they are just trying to offload players that are not performing

Ziyech is never a flop , play him at the good position, give him regular play time, a serious club has been hijacking any good players u want , and u want to sell the ones u have , does this make senses? Something is wrong somewhere , pls bring back our Abramovich

Chelsea is the most unserious club this summer, it will shock them that they won’t compete for any cup, other clubs are strengthening their team but Chelsea is wasting time, too bad

You see Chelsea,,, that's what they did to players like Kelvin and SALLAH
People like you will continue giving him chances to perform even in the next years to come. I prefer he flourish somewhere else if that’s destined to happen. He is a lazy player and don’t want to push himself higher.

If this is not a rumour, I think something is seriously wrong with Boehly. How can you consider selling Ziyect for just £8m when you are short of first team players? The season starts by next week and we are yet to meet our transfer targets. Selling Ziyech and Werner would be very risky especially now that the season is about to start. ziyech is not a flop. So, stop calling him a flop.
