During the winter transfer window, PSG had been close to recruiting Hakim Ziyech. But the transfer had failed at the last moment a priori for administrative concerns. But the reality is probably different, since the player was rejected in Saudi Arabia.
Announced as close to Al-Nassr, Hakim Ziyech should not ultimately engage with the Saudi club when everything was tied up. According to several sources, during the medical examination of the Moroccan international striker, a problem was noted on one of the Chelsea player’s knees. The transfer obviously fell through, Hakim Ziyech immediately leaving Saudi Arabia. And, important precision, this knee problem would also have been noted last January by the medical staff of Paris Saint-Germain.
PSG had also seen this problem
Al Nassr detected a knee problem during Hakim Ziyech’s medical visit.
There are now big doubts about the feasibility of the transfer.
Last January, the same problem (knee) was detected by PSG during its aborted transfer.

We remember, present in the French capital in the final hours of the winter transfer window, the Moroccan star had not been able to sign at PSG. At the time, everything had been put on the back of an administrative problem between Chelsea and the Ligue 1 club. But, inevitably, if the champions of France had also seen this concern, the real reason for the transfer failure was probably kept secret between the two clubs. However, a Moroccan journalist close to Hakim Ziyech insisted on denying this version of the facts. ” To put things in order, Hakim Ziyech did not fail the medical examination! The real reason, a disagreement over some terms of the contract!! “, explains Izem Anass, who to read the reactions to his message did not really convince. In the meantime, the Moroccan player returns to Chelsea where we no longer count on him.
