AC Milan have opened talks with Chelsea for Hakim Ziyech.

The Morocco World Cup star is a priority target for Milan chiefs Paolo Maldini and Ricky Massara.

La Gazzetta dello Sport says talks between clubs are now underway.

The Rossonero are pushing to take Ziyech on-loan in January with an option to buy worth €15m.

Ziyech has a deal at Chelsea to 2025 and arrived two years ago from Ajax for €40m.
