Chelsea Star's Big-Money Saudi Move 'Collapses'

Chelsea Star's Big-Money Saudi Move 'Collapses'

One Chelsea star will reportedly not be joining Cristiano Ronaldo at Al-Nassr after failing a medical.

The Blues have been quite active in the transfer market, as a number of high-profile players are expected to leave in the coming weeks while the club have already signed Christopher Nkunku from RB Leipzig.

However, Hakim Ziyech finds himself in a bit of pickle as reports in England claim that player's move to Al-Nassr has broken down after an issue with the medical.

The Guardian have reported that a knee problem was flagged up by the Saudi Pro League club during the Morocco international's medical a couple days ago.

Ziyech's former Chelsea teammates N'Golo Kanté, Kalidou Koulibaly and Édouard Mendy have all joined clubs in the Saudi Pro League over the last couple weeks as new coach Mauricio Pochettino puts a stamp on his squad.

The report also added that the deal collapsed due to suggestions of the two parties failing to agree on personal terms and it remains to be seen if Al-Nassr will try and revive the deal.

Ziyech joined the Blues from Ajax Amsterdam in 2020 and while he was won the UEFA Champions League, he has registered 14 goals and 13 assists in 107 appearances for the club.
