Hakim Ziyech’s potential move to Al-Nassr in Saudi Arabia from Chelsea has collapsed. Despite Chelsea agreeing to a transfer fee of £8 million and Ziyech set to earn £9 million, complications arose during the finalization of his three-year contract, including issues with a knee injury discovered during the medical. Ziyech’s future at Chelsea remains uncertain, as he has been deemed surplus to requirements and featured infrequently last season.

After having three previous bids rejected, Manchester United’s latest bid worth £60 million has been accepted by Chelsea. Mount, who has two years remaining on his current contract, will sign a contract until 2028 with an option for a further year once he completes his medical examination.
In terms of potential signings, Chelsea is looking to reinforce their central midfield. Moises Caicedo of Brighton has attracted interest from the club, with Brighton previously rejecting a £70 million bid from Arsenal. Chelsea is believed to be considering a fee in the region of £80 million to secure the services of the Ecuadorian midfielder. Another midfielder on Chelsea’s radar is Gabri Veiga from Celta Vigo. The 21-year-old Spaniard, who scored 11 goals in 36 games in LaLiga last season, has a release clause of £34 million. Newcastle is also monitoring Veiga after agreeing to sign Milan’s Sandro Tonali.
Regarding Marc Cucurella, the left-back signed by Chelsea from Brighton for £62 million last year, rumors suggested that Chelsea was looking to offload him to Atletico Madrid. However, Cucurella’s agent refuted these claims on social media, dismissing them as “fake news.”
