Chelsea star Hakim Ziyech was brutally denied Lionel Messi link-up – but could now team up with Cristiano Ronaldo
Hakim Ziyech could be the next high-profile star to make the move to Saudi Arabia with Al Nassr reportedly looking to link him up with Cristiano Ronaldo.
The 30-year-old was a peripheral figure at Stamford Bridge in the 2022/23 season where he featured in just 18 Premier League games.

He started just six times in the top-flight as the Blues finished 12th in the table.
Having been deemed as surplus to requirements by former boss Graham Potter, the Morocco international was in talks to join Paris Saint-Germain in January.
But that transfer fell through despite Ziyech passing a medical in the French capital after Chelsea sent the correct paperwork three minutes after the window closed.
And after missing out on calling Lionel Messi a teammate, Ziyech, who still has two years left on his deal in west London, could now play alongside Ronaldo.
