The Italian team is reportedly interested in Ziyech, whose contract with west London expires in 2025, and his lawyer may be able to finalise a transfer.

Ziyech may now be joining a different Serie A team, though, since the Blues have rekindled their interest in Rabiot.

Along with Chelsea, Manchester United and Newcastle are among the teams interested in signing him. Reports suggest that the Old Lady set Rabiot's asking price at over £15 million.
