OM, Monaco, Nice, OL… Hakim Ziyech panics Ligue 1
Departing from Chelsea, Hakim Ziyech is followed very closely by several Ligue 1 clubs. Even if few have the means to afford the Moroccan international.
Two years after arriving at Chelsea from Ajax, Hakim Ziyech is preparing to leave the London club. If he has achieved great things, during 65 games played in the jersey of the Blues, remembering in particular the Champions League, the 29-year-old player has never really convinced Thomas Tuchel. The German coach has this time given the green light for a departure from his winger, who is already overwhelmed with proposals.
If his name circulates on the side of Manchester United, in full reconstruction after a catastrophic season (ended in the 6th place), several Ligue 1 clubs are on the lookout. Starting with Olympique Lyonnais, where a certain Peter Bosz knows this very well, for having led him to Ajax. The only problem: the fact that OL are not playing in any European Cup next season, a limited compromise on their arrival.
For Lyon, the Ziyech dream has gone away, but you never know…
Contacts between OL and the player have been going on for several months, before the second half of the season for Les Gones came to put a damper on the transfer. According to our information, there is still a small chance, but it is very small.
Three other Ligue 1 clubs have nominated themselves: OM, Nice and Monaco. Three clubs that will play Europe, starting with OM, certain to play in the Champions League group stage.
But this time, it is the financial means that are lacking in Pablo Longoria. The latter would therefore have approached Chelsea to find out the terms of a paying loan. An alternative that does not delight the London club, nor the player, who prefers a dry transfer.
PSG in case of failure with Ousmane Dembélé
Transfer that Nice, and especially Monaco, are able to pay, provided that the Blues are not too demanding. If the amount mentioned in England is 35 million euros, the two clubs of the Côte d’Azur would like not to put more than 25 million on the player.
Finally, the last possibility to see the Moroccan international in Ligue 1: PSG. In search of a replacement for Angel Di Maria, the capital club would have made a replacement choice, Ousmane Dembélé.
