As we reported, AC Milan want to strengthen their attack ahead of next season. Among the multiple options, Hakim Ziyech was the most liked and the most possible transfer. For this reason, days later, the Chelsea and AC Milan boards began negotiations for the transfer of the player.

The London side has closed the signing of Raphinha, a Leeds United player. Although Arsenal and FC Barcelona were also immersed in the bidding for the Brazilian winger, everything suggests that Chelsea has emerged as the winner. Therefore, due to the large outlay involved in such a signing, the 'blue' directive must give exit to some of its attacking players.

The exit price of Hakim Ziyech

Hakim Ziyech has a market value of 28 million euros, according to Transfermarkt. However, when the African player landed at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea invested close to 40 million for him. Therefore, even though the player's value has lowered, it does not look like they will let him leave for less than the €40 million they invested in him.
