PSG Coach Laments Failed Ziyech Transfer from Chelsea

"An unfortunate situation!" This is how Christophe Galtier describes the aborted transfer of Hakim Ziyech to Paris Saint-Germain. Even though he is disappointed not to have Hakim Ziyech among his men, he points out that these are the vagaries of the transfer window.

"We wanted to replace the departure of Pablo Sarabia numerically with a player who can also play on the right side of our attack, hence Hakim Ziyech." He maintains that PSG has played its part and that it is at the Chelsea level that there have been some misjudgments.

PSG filed an appeal with the LFP, but it was rejected on Wednesday morning by the legal commission. And as if the administrative errors that prevented Ziyech’s transfer were not enough, the Moroccan player must also face his withdrawal from the list of players called up for the Champions League.
