Saint-Germain is filing an appeal after Ziyech's transfer from Chelsea faltered

On Wednesday, Paris Saint-Germain submitted an appeal to the Association of Football Professionals in France to approve the arrival of Moroccan Hakim Ziyech, after his transfer from Chelsea, on loan, failed on Tuesday evening in the last minutes of the winter transfer market due to the delay in receiving administrative documents, according to what Agence France-Presse learned. From a source close to the club.

Although the two clubs agreed on the details of the transfer of the player, who contributed mainly at the end of last year in making Morocco the first Arab and African team to reach the World Cup semi-finals, it seems that the deal is seriously threatened due to an administrative detail.

The 29-year-old was in Paris on Tuesday and passed the medical examination after Chelsea agreed to loan him to Saint-Germain until the end of the season and without the option to sign him permanently, which would not have given the French capital club an important boost for the remainder of the season.

But everything collapsed in the final minutes of the transfer window, which closed on Tuesday night.

According to two sources familiar with the file, Chelsea made several mistakes in sending the necessary administrative documents to approve the international wing contract.

The correct documents arrived late after the transfer window closed, which made the Moroccan's move to Parc des Princes a threat.

The Association of Football Professionals in France gave clubs until midnight on Tuesday to register transfers in the program designated for international transfers (FIFA TMS).

This administrative lapse leaves Saint-Germain in danger of ending the winter transfer period without any contract, two weeks before it faced Bayern Munich in the Champions League final price.
