Chelsea’s winger Hakim Ziyech appears to be undergoing a medical with Galatasaray as he nears a departure from Stamford Bridge.
In what could be a significant move for Chelsea’s winger Hakim Ziyech, reports have emerged indicating that he is on the verge of a medical examination with Turkish club Galatasaray. Ziyech’s journey at Stamford Bridge has been marked by an unfortunate lack of success, contrasting sharply with his standout performances during his Ajax days and the initial optimism surrounding his arrival in London.
The Moroccan international, who initially showcased immense potential upon joining Chelsea, has faced a series of failed transfer attempts in recent times. Notably, a potential switch to Paris Saint-Germain fell through in the previous January transfer window. More recently, a proposed move to Al Nassr encountered hurdles, initially attributed to a medical issue but now potentially connected to other concerns, as per Goal’s sources.
Transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano has provided a fresh perspective on Ziyech’s situation, indicating that he is taking significant steps toward sealing his Galatasaray move.
This assertion gains further traction with the news of an impending medical assessment for the Moroccan winger, corroborated by Romano himself.
Galatasaray’s ambitious summer transfer activities have included not only Ziyech but also the acquisition of Wilfried Zaha, thereby assembling a potentially formidable attacking lineup. The addition of Mauro Icardi on a permanent basis further bolsters their offensive prowess.
For Ziyech, the writing seemed to be on the wall at Chelsea, especially in light of the club’s recent flurry of signings, featuring names like Mykhaylo Mudryk and Noni Madueke. Additionally, the imminent arrival of Michael Olise from Crystal Palace further clouds his prospects for regular playing time at the Premier League outfit.
