Seized by Paris Saint-Germain, which failed to register Hakim Ziyech before the deadline because of Chelsea, the LFP’s legal committee definitively refused to approve the Moroccan’s contract. The capital club therefore ends this transfer window without any recruits.
Ziyech remains quay and will not sign Paris this winter.
Paris Saint-Germain supporters had a complicated month of January. Until the end. because of sporting results, with 4 points taken in the last 4 Ligue 1 games, and above all because of a completely failed winter transfer window.
The French champions needed a central defender and a midfielder, they recruited neither. Milan Skriniar (27) will end the Inter Milan season, for lack of agreement between the two clubs for his transfer, and Hakim Ziyech (29) Chelsea. Seized by the capital club, the LFP’s legal commission refused to approve the Moroccan’s contract.
Chelsea’s three mistakes
Tuesday, however, Ziyech had a good medical visit with PSG, pending an agreement between the two clubs. This intervened in the evening, for a loan without an option to buy, but Chelsea first sent Paris an erroneous document, says The team on Wednesday. Once the error was rectified, the Blues sent the contract back to their Parisian counterparts… forgetting to sign it. Two consecutive errors? No, three, since another version has been transmitted… still without the signature.
Paris did end up receiving the right documents, but too late. The LFP refused to approve the contract on Tuesday evening, and its legal committee therefore did not respond favorably to PSG’s appeal the next day. A huge snub for the club from the French capital, which therefore completes this winter transfer window without a single recruit. Especially since this laughable situation even prevented Parisian hopeful Ismal Gharbi (18) from being ready for Nice, for the same reasons as Ziyech.
Whose fault?
Whose fault? Chelsea, who justified themselves by talking about administrative services too busy with the transfer of Enzo Fernandez from Benfica, but also at PSG. Because the current leader of the championship has once again not anticipated his transfer window, logically completed in panic and urgency, and therefore without a recruit. To the chagrin of Ziyech, who will have to finish the season in London, and also of Christophe Galtier, whose team badly needed reinforcements before facing Bayern Munich.
