Chelsea ready to make a flower at FC Barcelona for Hakim Ziyech – Nairobi Times

Appreciated by Xavi, Hakim Ziyech could leave Chelsea this winter to find more playing time and bounce back at FC Barcelona. The London club would even be ready to financially help the Blaugrana club to carry out the transaction.

While the Xavi leg timidly begins to allow FC Barcelona to regain its splendor, the Catalan neo-technician has never hidden that he wanted to strengthen his workforce and especially in the offensive sector. Despite a rather convincing start to the season from Memphis Depay, the other Blaugrana attackers are hampered by injuries and physical glitches, like Martin Braithwaite (30), Ousmane Dembélé (24), Ansu Fati (19) and Sergio Agüero (33), affected by heart problems.

It is therefore quite logical that the new strongman of Barça asked the Catalan management to activate for the winter transfer window. Raheem Sterling (26) was already one of the club’s priorities for this winter, but Manchester City do not seem open to discussion and want to keep their England winger until the end of the season. Already very interested in certain elements of Chelsea, FC Barcelona would have contacted the London club again to be able to enlist Hakim Ziyech (28), all with acceptable financial conditions for Barça, as revealed Sport.

Timo Werner also targeted by Barca

Yet aligned in the Champions League against Juventus (4-0), then during the shock against Manchester United in the Premier League (1-1), the Moroccan international is not an indisputable holder and hoped for more playing time during of his arrival at the Blues in 2020 from Ajax Amsterdam. The Iberian daily specifies that Chelsea could help Barcelona to carry out this transaction. Indeed, the London management would be ready to pay part of the transaction to part with it.

And if the negotiations between Hakim Ziyech and FC Barcelona do not lead to an agreement, Chelsea would be ready to make the same deal with another striker: Timo Werner. The 25-year-old striker has only played eight Premier League games, including only five of them as a starter, for just one goal. Rarely in Thomas Tuchel’s eleven since the arrival of Romelu Lukaku this summer, the German international would like to regain playing time before the next 2022 World Cup.
