Hakim Ziyech could be heading back to Ajax from Chelsea despite links from Serie A champions AC Milan.
The 29-year-old Morocco international had been linked with the Rossoneri throughout the summer.
They were eager to pick him up on loan with an option to buy, but Ziyech was ultimately low on the list of priorities compared to a defensive midfielder and extra centre-back.
Because of this, Ziyech is now looking at other clubs and could make a return to Ajax, where he played from 2016 until his €40m transfer to Chelsea in 2020.
According to beIN Sports, he would be the replacement for Antony, who is wanted by Manchester United.
Ziyech also cut off previous negotiations with clubs including Milan, Monaco, Olympique Lyonnais, OGC Nice and Olympique Marseille by sacking his agent.
