Chelsea still do not know when the club will have Hakim Ziyech. The wing tip annex number ten will in principle come over from Ajax on 1 July, but due to the corona crisis, FIFA wants to extend the current season and postpone all transfers. The Telegraph expects Chelsea and Ajax to come to a new transition date for Ziyech ‘if necessary’ in mutual consultation.
According to the newspaper, everything depends on the decisions that the Premier League and Eredivisie will make about the current season. Should the seasons in both league be completed, the chances are that Ziyech will only make the crossing to England after the end of the current season. “But the situation will get a lot more complicated if one of the leagues cannot be resumed, or if one of them starts much later than the other,” it said.
The Premier League still has the intention to finish the season, while the KNVB hoped this week to resume the Eredivisie in June. Ajax, PSV and AZ, among others, have already expressed themselves strongly against those plans, which means that the season cannot be ruled out. “If the Dutch season is canceled, Ziyech can, in theory, join Chelsea from July 1. However, he will not be allowed to take action while the current season is still running,” the British newspaper outlines.
In that scenario, Chelsea will probably knock on Ajax’s door. “From a financial point of view, it makes no sense that Chelsea will pay Ziyech as of July 1, while the current season has not yet ended, and the Moroccan international should therefore not play. At the same time, it is unlikely that Ajax will continue to pay Ziyech’s salary after July 1. If the season has already ended there Fortunately Chelsea has an excellent working relationship with Ajax It is expected that if necessary an agreement for a new date for the transfer of the player will be reached which is acceptable to both clubs and to both parties is beneficial. “
For the time being, however, there are no talks between Chelsea and Ajax yet. “That makes no sense, as long as there is so much unclear about when football can be played again. While FIFA guidelines indicate that the transfer window can be postponed and player contracts can be extended, they are not certain when Ziyech’s transfer can be completed. “, concludes The Telegraph.
