Report: Euro club considering a bid for £36.7m Chelsea star, club open to selling – originally posted on Sportslens.com
Napoli are reportedly considering a move for Chelsea winger Hakim Ziyech.
According to reports from Calciomercato, Chelsea are open to selling Ziyech in the summer transfer window.
The Moroccan winger arrived from Ajax in a £36.7million transfer last summer and impressed in his first season at the club.
The 28-year-old managed six goals and four assists in all competitions last season, including strikes against Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City in the FA Cup and in the Premier League.
However, Calciomercato are reporting that several Italian clubs are plotting a move to sign Ziyech this summer.
Serie A giants Napoli are considering a bid for the left-footed winger, with new Napoli boss Luciano Spalletti keen to make his mark on the squad after taking over this summer.
AC Milan could be tempted to move for the Chelsea winger as well. As of now, neither Milan nor Napoli have made a formal approach to sign him.

Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel has a wealth of attacking options, but it is unlikely that he will be ready to part ways with Ziyech.
Moreover, if several reports are to be believed, Chelsea could offload the likes of Callum Hudson-Odoi and Christian Pulisic this summer. But there is no such indication from the UK press that Ziyech could be on his way out.
Ziyech has a contract at the London club till 2025, and Chelsea would ask for a massive transfer fee for him, in case they decide to let him go.
