Moroccan winger Hakim Ziyech remains frustrated at Chelsea and wants to leave.
The attacker, who is not first choice under manager Thomas Tuchel, does not want to remain at the club beyond this transfer window.
Chelsea are busy on incoming transfers, as they target Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Frenkie de Jong from Barcelona.
However, Ziyech wants to be allowed to leave, with AC Milan retaining the strongest interest in his services, per the Evening Standard.
He knows that with summer signing Raheem Sterling a part of the squad, he will have less game time than last term, even though Romelu Lukaku and Timo Werner have left.
Callum Hudson-Odoi and Christian Pulisic are also contemplating their futures.
