Chelsea Transfers: Romano Says 'Zero Truth' Winger 'Desperate' to Leave with 'No Talks' Over January Exit

Chelsea's Winger Future in Doubt

Italian transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has dismissed rumors linking Chelsea winger Hakim Ziyech with a January exit, stating that there is "zero truth" to the speculation. Romano's comments come amid reports that Ziyech is "desperate" to leave Stamford Bridge due to a lack of playing time under manager Graham Potter.

No January Exit Talks

According to Romano, there have been "no talks" between Chelsea and any other club regarding Ziyech's potential departure in the January transfer window. The Moroccan international has been linked with a move to AC Milan and Roma in recent weeks, but Romano insists that these rumors are unfounded.

Ziyech Frustrated with Lack of Playing Time

Ziyech has struggled for regular playing time at Chelsea since joining the club from Ajax in 2020. The 29-year-old has made just 14 Premier League starts under Potter this season, leading to speculation about his future.

Chelsea Open to Summer Sale

While there is no indication of a January exit for Ziyech, Romano suggests that Chelsea could be open to selling the winger in the summer. The Blues are reportedly looking to reshape their squad, and Ziyech could be one of the players sacrificed to make way for new signings.
