Paris Saint-Germain are reportedly set to renew their interest in Chelsea winger Hakim Ziyech.
The 30-year-old was on the verge of joining the French champions on the final day of the January transfer window.
The two clubs had reached an agreement over a loan move, but the deal collapsed after Chelsea sent through the incorrect paperwork.
Chelsea reportedly sent the documents twice without a signature, and the deadline had already passed by the time that they had sent the correct version.
Despite failing to get the deal across the line, according to Football Insider, PSG will rekindle their interest in Ziyech during the summer transfer window.

The Parisians are looking to change their transfer strategy towards completing cheaper deals as they look to meet Financial Fair Play rules.
PSG will reportedly be able to secure Ziyech's services if they meet Chelsea's valuation, which is believed to be in the region of £20m to £30m.
Chelsea are set to offload several members of their squad as they also look to stay within the FFP limitations following their lavish spending over the last two transfer windows.
With over 30 players in their first-team squad, Ziyech is one of a number of players that have found playing time hard to come by.
The Morocco international has had to settle for 19 competitive appearances and just six Premier League starts this season.

The January arrivals of Noni Madueke, Joao Felix and Mykhaylo Mudryk knocked Ziyech further down the pecking order.
As a result, Ziyech has not featured since a 2-0 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur on February 26, and he has failed to appear in the last three matchday squads.
Since joining the Blues in the summer of 2020, Ziyech has scored 14 goals and provided 11 assists in 102 appearances.
The Moroccan will be hoping to have a greater involvement under interim boss Frank Lampard, who has returned to the club on a deal until the end of the season.
