Ziyech has already agreed in principle to join the Ligue 1 champions but the terms for his transfer from Chelsea are yet to be agreed upon by both teams.

Ziyech joined Chelsea from Ajax at the start of the 2020/21 season on a 5-year / £26,000,000 contract with the Blues.

Ziyech agrees personal terms with PSG

Meanwhile, Hakim Ziyech has agreed personal terms with Paris Saint-Germain and is hoping a deal can be finalized for his transfer before the transfer window shuts, Goal reports.

PSG currently appears to be focused on Ziyech, and contract talks to sign the Moroccan international on a loan have proceeded.

The Ligue 1 champions are slightly short of attacking depth after Pablo Sarabia left for Wolves earlier this month and it has become evident they need to strengthen their forward line before the transfer window closes.

Ziyech drops hint on Chelsea future

Earlier, Sports Brief reported Moroccan winger, Hakim Ziyech is one of those who could be shown the way out of Stamford Bridge midway into his third season, since joining from Ajax in 2020 for £33 million.

He was part of the spending spree of over £200-mil Frank Lampard oversaw at Chelsea in the summer window after the COVID-19 pandemic.

Thomas Tuchel was the one who brought the best out of the squad and won three trophies.
