Chelsea's Hakim Ziyech Set to Join Saudi Arabia's Al Nassr in Major Transfer Deal

Hakim Ziyech, the attacking midfielder of Chelsea, is about to pack his bags to join Al Nassr, in Saudi Arabia. After negotiations between the two clubs, the Moroccan player has accepted the transfer conditions and especially a big check.

According to Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano, "the deal is done. The player has accepted his transfer. It just remains to undergo medical tests before it becomes official."

Since his arrival at Chelsea in 2020 from Ajax Amsterdam for 40 million euros plus bonuses, Ziyech has not been able to show his true talent, as he has often been benched by successive coaches. However, he has won the Champions League, the European Super Cup and the Club World Cup with the Chelsea Blues. His future contract with Al Nassr runs until June 2026.

His transfer to Al Nassr represents an opportunity for the Moroccan to secure a place in the starting lineup and give a new impetus to his career, even though it is public knowledge that the Saudi league is far from matching the European one.
