Chelsea's Ziyech Faces Crucial Medical Ahead of Potential Galatasaray Move

As he is close to signing with Galatasaray, Moroccan international Hakim Ziyech must undergo a medical examination. A crucial step for the Chelsea attacking midfielder whose transfer to Al Nassr had failed due to a supposed knee problem.

Galatasaray and Chelsea are said to have reached an agreement to sign Hakim Ziyech, reports Talk Sport. Beforehand, the Atlas Lion must undergo a medical examination. An essential prerequisite. This will be his third medical examination passed in 2023. While he was about to sign with PSG, he had undergone his medical examination in Paris during the winter transfer window, but the delay in Chelsea’s transmission of the administrative files necessary for the approval of his contract had caused his transfer to fail. Recently, his transfer to Al Nassr failed due to a supposed knee problem. But the former Ajax star had mentioned a financial disagreement. It remains to be seen whether this third medical examination will be satisfactory and allow him to leave Stamford Bridge where he has become unwanted.

Signed by Chelsea in the summer of 2020 for a contract of 35 million euros, Ziyech has not shone at Stamford Bridge. He has scored 14 goals in 107 games, across all competitions. Recently, he has not received a squad number within the London club after being excluded from the pre-season tour in the United States.
