Tuchel warned for £40m rated player’s transfer, as Board delighted after defender agrees Chelsea deal
According to Calciomercato, the Blues have not completely extinguished the idea of selling Hakim Ziyech in the next transfer window.
However, Chelsea fans on social media was adamant that Hakim Ziyech should not be sold this summer, as Napoli are said to be most interested should the Moroccan become available.
The majority of Blues fans did not take to this news kindly and showed solidarity towards Ziyech staying for another season.
It’s been less than a year since Ziyech officially joined up with the Chelsea squad, following his £40m move from Ajax. Although his debut campaign was far from ground breaking, it wasn’t without its moments of marvel.
He scored in Premier League and FA Cup wins over Manchester City and he put the Blues on their way to victory against Atletico Madrid in the second leg of their Champions League tie.
There was a fine league performance away to Burnley – the only occasion the 28-year-old both scored and assisted in one match.
For Chelsea to turn 180 degrees and to let him leave almost instantly after his arrival would be a surprise.
Roman Abramovich is always keen for his purchases to be viewed as investments, rather than wasted assets.
Ziyech has a full pre-season this time to prepare for round two, with his last disrupted by a knee injury.
Board delighted after defender agrees Chelsea deal

However, Chelsea director Marina Granovskaia has shared her love for Thiago Silva after agreeing new Chelsea deal
Marina said: “When we brought Thiago Silva in last summer, we knew we were adding a world-class player to the squad.
“Thiago has duly shown everyone at Chelsea his immense quality throughout this season, and he has had a huge influence on and off the pitch for us.
“We said when he signed that we hoped Thiago would add new trophies to his impressive list of honours, and he has done just that with our success in the Champions League this weekend.
“We now hope that he carries on in exactly the same fashion in the coming year.”
