Rabat – Moroccan international footballer Hakim Ziyech has responded to rumors questioning the condition of his legs by posting a story on his official Instagram page showing both his legs as he sits on the practice field.
The picture was captioned, “Knee problems right??” followed by multiple laughing emojis.
The post comes days after international media have been spreading rumors questioning the health condition of Ziyech’s legs and citing them as the cause for the alleged failure of his transfer to Saudi Arabian team Al-Nasser.

Last week, Saudi media outlets indicated that Ziyech’s highly anticipated £8 million transfer to Al-Nassr had unexpectedly come to a halt.
According to the reports, the deal between Ziyech and Al-Nassr fell through as the parties could not agree on the final terms of a three-year contract.
Sources from Al-Nassr have revealed that the club is disappointed and keen to find a solution after negotiations to sign the Moroccan player collapsed. Reportedly, the breakdown primarily occurred due to disagreements over the financial aspects of the agreement.
The recent setback further adds to the uncertainty surrounding Ziyech’s future, as he is currently considered surplus to requirements at his current club, Chelsea.
With the upcoming pre-season approaching, Mauricio Pochettino’s team is preparing for the new season without the talented Moroccan winger, as they seek to cut down their squad after a disappointing season.
The 28-year-old Moroccan player joined Chelsea from Ajax in 2020 for a significant fee of £33 million.
However, he struggled to secure a regular starting position, featuring in only 24 matches last season, with most of his playing time coming off the bench.
Despite limited opportunities, Ziyech still has two years left on his contract with the London-based club.
The recent collapse is not the first time Ziyech’s potential transfer has fallen through.
In January of this year, a loan move to Paris Saint-Germain also failed due to Chelsea missing the deadline for submitting the transfer paperwork to PSG. Reports indicate that Chelsea is actively searching for alternative clubs the talented Moroccan can potentially move to.
