Hakim Ziyech’s ‘£8million move to Al-Nassr has collapsed – with Chelsea winger failing to finalize terms of three-year deal at Saudi side’
- Hakim Ziyech’s move to Saudi Pro League team Al-Nassr failed
- The Moroccan is redundant at Chelsea after failing to impress
- It is Ziyech’s second failed move this year after a January deal with PSG fell through
Hakim Ziyech’s £8 million move to Al-Nassr has fallen through after the Moroccan attacker failed to agree the terms of a three-year contract.
It’s unclear if the deal can be revived later in the window. Although club officials were reportedly left disappointed according to reports from the country of a botched medical.
Ziyech remains surplus to requirements at Chelsea, with this deal marking his second failed transfer from Stamford Bridge after the failure of a potential January move to PSG.
On that occasion, Chelsea failed to complete paperwork regarding his potential move to PSG before the deadline.
That enraged the French champions, with Chelsea bosses coming under fire for the way they handled the negotiations.

Ziyech, who was taken over from Ajax for £33 million in 2020, made 24 appearances last season, but the majority of his appearances came from the bench.
The 30-year-old defender still has a two-year contract, in a bleak period at The Blues.
Chelsea will now sound out alternative clubs in hopes of finding a landing spot for the winger.
Noni Madueke and Christopher Nkunku are among the players recently signed to replace the Moroccan.
Meanwhile, Al-Nassr agreed a deal with Inter Milan for midfielder Marcelo Brozovic, who opted to join last season’s Pro League runners-up over Barcelona.
