Aborted transfer to PSG
Yes, it's not the first time this year that Hakim Ziyech's move from Chelsea has fallen through at the last minute.As long ago as January, the left-footed player was on the verge of joining Paris Saint-Germain on the final day of the winter transfer window. Unfortunately, the Parisian club had also detected... a problem with his knee. To make matters worse, his transfer was hampered by administrative problems. Chelsea reportedly sent incomplete documents. Whatever the case, he returned to London to relive his daily nightmare.
In sporting terms, Hakim Ziyech has also had a black year.In all competitions, he started just 9 of the 24 games he played.He provided 3 assists and scored no goals.The only bright spot was Morocco's run to the semi-finals of the 2022 World Cup.It now remains to be seen what the 30-year-old will do this summer. He still has two years left on his contract with Chelsea.
