No reinforcement after a disappointing transfer window for Paris Saint-Germain (PSG). The arrival on loan from the Moroccan player of Chelsea Hakim Ziyech at PSG was rejected Wednesday by the Professional Football League (LFP) due to a procedural problem. The 29 -year -old contract was sent too late Tuesday evening and the Paris club saw its appeal be rejected by the LFP in the aftermath of the last day of the winter transfer window. PSG, which blames Chelsea, therefore closes its transfer market without the slightest recruit.
Ligue 1 clubs were indeed required to transmit contracts at 11 p.m. Tuesday evening to the LFP services, which granted them one more hour to record these changes in the software governing international transfers (FIFA TMS). Solicited by the France-Presse agency, neither the Professional Football League nor Paris Saint-Germain expressed himself on this improbable imbroglio.
Administrative errors
According to internal sources cited by the France-Presse agency (AFP) and several media, everything was however put together with Ziyech: the semi-finalist winger of the last World Cup was in Paris on Tuesday, he had successfully visited his visit medical and the two clubs agreed for a loan without option to buy. This arrival of a renowned player would have saved the Mercato du PSG, hitherto sluggish.
But according to two sources with knowledge of the file, the Chelsea club made several errors in sending the administrative documents necessary for the registration of the contract to PSG … and the closing time has been failed. The Paris club nevertheless tried to plead its cause by fileing an appeal to the League, but its legal committee, reunited on Wednesday morning, rejected it. According to several media, she also rejected the lending departure from the young Parisian Ismaël Gharbi, who was to take the direction of Nice.
Two weeks before the knockout stages of the Champions League against Bayern Munich and while its results skate, PSG ends the Mercato empty. He only let go of his goalkeeper number two Keylor Navas in Nottingham Forest (loan) and his Spanish winger Pablo Sarabia in Wolverhampton (transfer), among the players of the first team.
record transfer for the OM
The Parisian imbroglio, in the heart of the night, closed a lively day on the transfer window in Ligue 1. In Marseille, the management ended the evening with a smile: Olympique de Marseille (OM) has doubled the English clubs to attract Vitinha (Braga), which could become the biggest transfer in its history.
The young 22 -year -old attacker has signed up for four and a half years against a total amount of up to 32 million euros (25 million and 7 million bonuses), to which could be added 10 % of a future transfer, according to the Portuguese club. Or an operation that would exceed the biggest recruitment ever carried out by OM, namely Dimitri Payet’s return in 2017 (30 million euros).
OM, who has long sought a advanced “big striker”, hopes a lot of Vitinha, author of thirteen goals and five assists in twenty-seven games this season. This arrival concludes a spectacular winter recruitment after the Ukrainian Ruslan Malinovskyi and the Moroccan Revelation of the World Cup 2022 Azzedine Ounahi.
