Hakim Ziyech’s future at Chelsea remains unclear as the Moroccan forward is angling for a move away from Chelsea in the bid of rejuvenating his career elsewhere.

Ziyech has been at Chelsea since 2020 but has struggled to make a mark since his big money move from Ajax, failing to nail down a first-team place with the club.

There was talk that Ziyech would leave Chelsea in the summer but a move for him never materialized and he ended up staying at Stamford Bridge.

Now, according to Fabrizio Romano, it’s known that there have been no negotiations taking place between Chelsea and Milan, who are the club that are most keen on signing the winger.

The two clubs were talking in the summer but nothing has progressed since and Ziyech’s future is still up in the air, with discussions due to take place after the World Cup.

This World Cup has had a fair amount of shocks, but Hakim Ziyech making the highest number of pressures in the tournament so far is one of the biggest shocks.

Chelsea are hoping Morocco and Ziyech’s form at the World Cup can raise the number of suitors for his signature and that they can finally agree for a sale of the player.

Previous manager Thomas Tuchel wasn’t very keen on making use of Ziyech’s talents while Graham Potter hasn’t given Ziyech many chances either, and there is a belief that the relationship between player and club is ready to end.
