However, Ioan Varga, CFR Cluj's owner, has explained that the club has withdrawn from the negotiations due to concerns about Ziyech's health. According to Varga, Ziyech has a problem with his left knee that may affect his ability to play.
Varga also mentioned that he had watched Ziyech play in games for Galatasaray and felt that he played with some fear. This, combined with the concern about his knee, led the club to decide against pursuing the transfer.
Ziyech had been seeking a salary of 2.5 million euros per year, but Varga felt that the risk of incurring medical expenses was too great. The club has expressed its wish for Ziyech to recover from his injury and hopes that he will be able to play for another team in the future.
CFR Cluj will now look for another player who is healthy and can contribute to the team. The club's priority is to find a player who can help them achieve their goals without taking on unnecessary risks.
