Coach of French football club Paris Saint-Germain Christophe Galtier explained that his team’s management tried to sign Moroccan international Hakim Ziyech from Chelsea until the last breath of the last winter transfer mercato.

The Parisian team coach said during a press conference: “Yes, our club tried to sign Ziyech until the last moment of the winter transfer period, and now he remains a player in Chelsea.”

Paris Saint-Germain was striving to sign Ziyech before the deal fell through at the last moments, when PSG declared they did not receive the proper documents from Chelsea, minutes away from the deadline.

Prior to the end of this winter mercato, several European clubs were seeking to sign Ziyech, most notably French Paris Saint-Germain and Italian club AC Milan.
