Rabat – With this season winding to a close, an increasingly out-of-place-looking Hakim Ziyech is widely expected to have no future with his current club as both parties appear to be open to a transfer in the coming summer window should the right offer emerge.
Ziyech is going to be “available for transfer” in the summer transfer window, Sports journalist Paul Brown told the sport news-focused website Give Me Sport, adding: “I think a lot of players at Chelsea were already considering their future. There have been a couple that have been on the transfer list for some time and know it.”
Fans of Ziyech have been left frustrated through much of this season as their star player fell low in the pecking order at Chelsea, with the Moroccan playmaker being benched or even left out of the matchday squad for the large majority of Chelsea games.
Chelsea’s recent purchases of a string of attacking players suggested the West London club is open to a loan or permanent transfer deal with the right offer. In the previous January transfer window, the English Premier League club was close to signing a loan deal with Paris Saint Germain for Ziyech.
However, Chelsea failed to submit the correct paperwork to conclude the PSG loan agreement for Ziyech three times ahead of the window deadline.
Several reports have emphasized in recent weeks that PSG is still interested in signing Ziyech.
As the playmaker continues to struggle to secure game time in the final matches of this season, many have suggested that Ziyech at Chelsea doesn’t feel the same passion and excitement he feels with the Moroccan national football team.
“Everytime he plays for Morocco, he’s the best player in the world and every time he plays for Chelsea, he feels sad and lost,” former Chelsea player Frank Leboeuf told ESPN in April.
The former Chelsea player stressed that he wishes to see Ziych going somewhere else, where he can show the world “he’s still the Ziyech that we have seen when he played for Ajax.”
Ziyech was one of Ajax’s favorites before joining Chelsea in 2020.
Ajax’s Director of Football Sven Mislintat has recently acknowledged that the Dutch club is now looking for players like their former star Ziyech to overhaul their squad.
