Three Italian clubs competing to sign Chelsea star, as Blues to offer two players for £150m player
In the competition to recruit Chelsea winger Hakim Ziyech, Inter Milan and Juventus have now joined AC Milan.
Despite thriving while playing for Ajax, Ziyech has had trouble adjusting to life in the Premier League since joining Chelsea. The Moroccan winger made an impact for Ajax in both the Champions League and the Eredivisie, which led to his transfer to England.
Ziyech may soon be moving, though, as Juventus and Inter Milan are reportedly both interested in signing the 29-year-old, according to Fichajes.
This information was made public after Fabrizio Romano, as seen in the tweet below, stated that Chelsea was willing to offload their winger and that AC Milan was in talks to transfer Ziyech to Italy.
Ziyech, who has struggled to secure a regular spot in Thomas Tuchel’s side, appears to be better off leaving Chelsea.
We frequently observe that foreign players, despite excelling elsewhere, struggle to fit into Premier League game. Timo Werner and Christian Pulisic, among others, are also in a similar situation. Unfortunately, Chelsea has a plethora of players that suffer from this.
Blues to offer two players for £150m player
Declan Rice of West Ham is still up for grabs, and according to the most recent source, Chelsea wants to give Armando Broja and Ross Barkley as part of a deal to sign Rice this summer.
Declan Rice will receive two players from the Blues.
Rice has long been a target for Chelsea, but the Blues were deterred by West Ham’s £150 million asking price.
According to a report from 90min, Chelsea recently had a new offer for Rice rejected by West Ham after Blues executives spoke with Hammers owner David Sullivan.
The article also stated that the Blues will try to offer both Barkley and Broja as a trade chip.
This summer, West Ham is rumored to be keeping an eye on Broja and to be prepared to make a £30 million offer for the youthful striker, who scored nine goals in 38 games while on loan at Southampton last year.
Barkley, on the other hand, is an overabundant midfielder for the Blues, which is one of the reasons he started just four games in 2021–22.
He only has a year left on his contract, and this summer, he has been linked to moves away from Stamford Bridge.
