    The summer exodus continues at Chelsea, with Hakim Ziyech and Edouard Mendy apparently agreeing to move to Saudi Arabia.

    Another prominent player is expected to leave Chelsea. The sale of goalkeeper Edouard Mendy by Chelsea to Saudi Arabian club Al Ahli has been finalized.

    The Senegalese goalkeeper has one year left on his deal, but Chelsea and the player were unable to come to terms on an extension. As a result, the player is reportedly planning to go to Saudi Arabia.

    Journalist Fabrizio Romano, who first broke the story, later confirmed that Chelsea and Al Ahli have verbally agreed to sell Mendy.

    All that’s needed to do is sign the contracts since the goalie and the club have come to terms on a three-year deal last week.

    Additionally, according to Fabrizio, another Chelsea player, Hakim Ziyech, is reportedly ready to transfer to Saudi Arabia after the Blues and Al Nassr reached a complete deal about the winger’s sale.

    Ziyech has also agreed to a contract that runs until 2026, much like Mendy, thus all that is left to do is for the clubs to exchange contracts. Superstar Cristiano Ronaldo, who joined Al Nassr in January, will be joined by Ziyech.

    In the summer of 2020, Mendy and Ziyech both joined Chelsea. They were both a member of the squad that won the Champions League that same year.

    They had coincidentally both lost favour with the team, and Ziyech had come very close to leaving for Paris Saint-Germain in January when the deal fell through at the eleventh hour.

    N’golo Kante’s transfer to Al Ittihad has already been announced, and players like Kalidou Koulibaly and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang have also been connected with moves to the region. This is part of a larger exodus of players from Stamford Bridge to Saudi Arabia.
