Hakim Ziyech has publicly responded to claims that he failed his Al Nassr medical. The Chelsea star looked set to join Cristiano Ronaldo at Al Nassr and it appears the deal fell through.
According to reports, the medical in Saudi Arabia uncovered a knee problem that raised some doubts for Al Nassr. It is claimed that a second medical report was conducted but the issue was worrying so the offer on the table was revised and Ziyech was offered a lower salary.

As a result, Ziyech is now believed to have ruled out a move to the club and would prefer to remain in Europe.
Ziyech then reacted to the idea that he has issues in his knees.
On Instagram, he posted a picture of his legs on a football pitch, with the caption, “Knee problems right?” accompanied by laughing emojis.
Similar issues came to light when Ziyech was slated to join Paris Saint Germain on loan in the January transfer window. The transfer flopped at the last minute and a report by Goal stated that Chelsea had sent the wrong documents to PSG three times.
The substantial delay meant the contract could not be validated before the transfer deadline.
According to Athletic, a PSG source described the situation as a ”Class A circus.”
Ziyech is believed to be attracting interests from other Saudi clubs, meaning he could still complete a move to the region before the start of the season.
