AC Milan are reportedly considering a trio of moves involving Chelsea this summer as they eye Olivier Giroud, Hakim Ziyech and Tiemoue Bakayoko.
The Rossoneri will need to continue to strengthen the squad in the coming weeks as we prepare for our return to the Champions League next season.

In addition, Stefano Pioli will want to see his side compete for the Scudetto too, and so he’ll be keen to add more quality and depth across his squad to ensure that we can compete on multiple fronts.
Having already signed Mike Maignan and Fikayo Tomori this summer, Sky Sport Italia’s Manuele Baiocchini reports that we could go back to Chelsea for a trio of players with Giroud, Ziyech and Bakayoko on our transfer radar.
It’s worth noting that all three would be sensible signings and would essentially address key issues in the current Milan squad, given we saw Mario Mandzukic, Hakan Calhanoglu and Soualiho Meite all leave this summer.
Giroud would add much-needed depth and competition up front to lead the line with Zlatan Ibrahimovic the only real option currently, while Ziyech could replace the creativity in the final third previously offered by Calhanoglu and offer a proper solution on the right wing.
Milan know Bakayoko well after his previous impressive loan stint with us, and he could ultimately add more solidity and steeliness to our midfield options if he were to return for a second spell.
Time will tell how the situation plays out, but these three players would offer solutions to key issues facing Pioli and Milan ahead of the new campaign, and it’s hoped that deals can be secured sooner rather than later in order to allow for any potential new additions to have as much time as possible to settle this summer.
