Overview

• Ziyech, 32, remains without a club after negotiations with CFR Cluj were halted.
• Owner Ioan Varga said he was informed the winger has an issue with his left knee.
• Varga said Ziyech sought about €2.5 million per year, which the club declined given the uncertainty.
• The owner also said reviews of Ziyech’s Galatasaray matches suggested he played with “some fear.”
• Ziyech has not played competitively since May 10, and Cluj have focused on other recruits, including Kurt Zouma and Islam Slimani.
