'Could be resurrected': Chelsea are still saying 33m player could leave talks may re-open soon - journalist
Journalist Greame Bailey has claimed that there is still a chance Hakim ZIyech could leave Chelsea this summer.
He told ‘The Talking Transfers Podcast’ that things are not completely dead despite the fact that reports have stated the move is off for now.
It looked as if Ziyech was set to be granted his move away from Stamford Bridge at last, after he tried to get away back in January.
He was set to join PSG on loan, however things collapsed for an unprecedented reason in the final moments.
Now, he looked set to make the lucrative switch to Al Nassr, joining a number of other former Chelsea stars in Saudi Arabia.
Ziyech move not dead
However, reports today suggested it was in real doubt after a failed medical.
Bailey has now claimed that there is still a chance he gets his move at a later stage of the window.
He said: “There is mixed reporting coming from Al Nassr, from failing to sort out the last bit of his contract to a failed medical.
“At the moment it is off. Chelsea are saying to us that it could be resurrected, they could drop the £8 million fee, I think this is one which might come back again because there are not many other options out there for him and Chelsea are desperate to get him off their wage bill.
“I think it’s more of a fly in the ointment, if anything here, I think Ziyech will be going but it’s one here where they might come back round the table and get it done.”
It is likely Ziyech is surplus to requirements at Stamford Bridge right now, and therefore a move away would be the best outcome for both parties.
