Cristiano Ronaldo won't be lining up with Hakim Ziyech next season but could be joined in Saudi Arabia by one of his international teammates.
Amid an exodus of players to the Middle East this summer, Chelsea midfielder Ziyech was set to sign for Al Nassr in a deal worth £17 million. But the move was scuppered at the 11th hour when a routine medical unveiled an ongoing knee problem, leaving the Moroccan star in limbo as he looks to rebuild his club career.
His former teammates N'Golo Kante, Edouard Mendy and Kalidou Koulibaly has already secured their own moves to the Middle East, along with Wolves star Ruben Neves. But Al Nassr will now turn their attention to another Premier League player, a development likely to please their marquee player.
