Hakim Ziyech has been sat in the PSG offices for practically the entire day, but he may not be getting his loan move after all. While both teams had agreed over terms of the six-month loan, the deadline for submitting the paperwork was missed.
Reports in France place the blame fully at Chelsea’s feet, with the Blues apparently sending the wrong documents not once, not twice, but “several” times! Impressive incompetence, that, if true.
Le dossier de Hakim Ziyech n'est pas encore bouclé !!! Chelsea se serait trompé à plusieurs reprises dans l'envoi des documents ce qui a causé du retard. Le PSG devrait poser ce mardi un recours devant la LFP. #Mercato @GoalFrance https://t.co/Bw1R1pYtcY

Either way, as things stand, Ziyech’s deal is off, though perhaps not all hope is lost. Owing to those mistakes by Chelsea, PSG are planning to appeal with LFP (Ligue de Football Professionnel), who are the ruling body for the French pro leagues. This would seem to indicate the move was cleared by FIFA (who have to clear it since it’s an international transfer), but did not meet the French league deadline.
Since it’s past midnight now, the appeal won’t be heard until tomorrow morning (Wednesday) at the earliest. But hopefully the LFP prove reasonable and allow this thing to go through anyway. Otherwise it’s going to get real awkward when Ziyech shows up at Chelsea training again...
Dossier Ziyech pas (encore) validé.

Envoi tardif des docs de la part de Chelsea. Ils ont envoyé plusieurs fois un mauvais document.
Le PSG va formuler un recours à la LFP
Dans le sens des départs Ismaël Gharbi espère avoir une dérogation de la part de la LFP
