Hakim Ziyech has responded to his failed Al Nassr medical with a pictured captioned: “Knee problems, right?”
The Saudi Arabian team is interested in signing the Chelsea winger, and everything looked to be moving along until something went wrong.
The Sun said that once a deal was agreed, Al Nassr tried to “dramatically reduce” his pay after the player failed a club medical.
Ziyech, in return, submitted a message that showed his legs with no obvious signs of harm or difficulty.
The summer is vital for the Moroccan star’s efforts to restart his career.
The 30-year-old player moved to Stamford Bridge in 2020 for a reported £32.6 million transfer price.
Despite playing regularly for Chelsea his first two seasons, Ziyech had a challenging campaign.
Even after performing well in Qatar, the 2022 World Cup hero was only allowed to make eight starts across all tournaments.
The winger was rumored to be moving to Paris Saint-Germain during the January transfer window, but the deal fell through on deadline day due to a procedural issue that prevented the paperwork from being finalized.
A summer transfer seems certain considering that he won’t be in Chelsea’s future plans, but it appears that a move to Al Nassr is currently off the table.
