The unbelievable situation of the Champions League champion

Midfielder Hakim Ziyech went through the worst period of his career when Romania's CFR Cluj refused to recruit him despite weeks of negotiations.

Ziyech has no new destination yet.

According to The Sun , Ziyech was contacted by Cluj and was expected to become the team's brightest star. However, negotiations between the two sides broke down after Cluj's leadership was concerned about the Moroccan player's physical condition.

Cluj president Ioan Varga confirmed the reason for refusing to sign Ziyech: "He did not pass the medical test. Ziyech had a problem with his left knee, and I was told that it was an injury that could recur. He is a good person, but I cannot risk spending a lot of money on a player who is at risk of not being able to play."

Mr. Varga further revealed that Ziyech requested a salary of up to 2.5 million euros per year, a figure beyond the Romanian team's ability to pay.

“I am sorry because Ziyech is a special player, but we cannot take risks. We will find another player who is fit and can help the team immediately," the president emphasized.

At the age of 32, Ziyech is unemployed after being rejected by Cluj. In 2020, he was recruited by Chelsea from Ajax for 40 million pounds. In the "Blues" shirt, Ziyech and his teammates won the 2021 Champions League, the European Super Cup and the FIFA Club World Cup in the same year.

After leaving Chelsea, he joined Galatasaray in 2023 and then had a short spell with Al-Duhail (Qatar).
