Rabat – Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) is reportedly in talks with Chelsea for Morocco’s international football player Hakim Ziyech.
French sports news outlet L’Equipe reported that “talks” between Chelsea and Paris Saint Germain are “moving quickly.”
However, the two clubs have not yet reached an agreement.
The French news outlet also quoted sources close to Ziyech, suggesting that Manchester United showed interest in signing the Atlas Lion.
Fabrizio Romano, an Italian football journalist also tweeted about the news today.
“Paris Saint Germain are in advanced negotiations to sign Hakim Ziyech from Chelsea,” he said.
He added that Ziyech has “already accepted” the offer as the two clubs “are now discussing the final formula for the deal.”
Ziyech, 29, has made brilliant performances with Morocco’s national team during its historic 2022 World Cup run in Qatar.
The footballer’s achievements put him under the radar of several international clubs, according to converging reports.
On January 20, Spanish sports outlet Marca reported that Chelsea decided to sell Ziyech among other players.
The English football club signed Ziyech from Dutch club Ajax back in 2020 for a reported fee of €40 million.
The Moroccan forward, however, was not given the chance to show his full potential with the Blues in comparison to what he displayed during the World Cup run with Morocco.
Recently, Dutch football legend Ruud Gullit advised Ziyech to move to a different club, such as FC Barcelona.
