Chelsea was prepared to meet Zakharyan's €15 million (£12.6 million) release clause since he is one of the game's most promising young players, but the deal fell through because of FIFA and UEFA rules prohibiting the acquisition of Russian players.
However, Chelsea is still closely monitoring the brilliant young player, who recently expressed his desire to sign with the Blues.
Zacharyan recently revealed that discussions are now taking place.
He stated, "I don't think about it right now," according to @sportexpress through @hrachoff.
"You can speak with the club or my delegates. I believe everything is fine. There are now discussions going on. However, I won't show all the cards.
What we know is that the Nkunku transaction is being pushed through, Jones told GIVEMESPORT.
“So those two are good and likely transfers that will happen, anything else I think is going to probably rely on some players moving out first.”
And if you believe the words of Iomie Stanley – he would be a very good signing for the Blues – he told IcFootballnews: ‘If it was not for that FIFA ban – Chelsea would have Zacharyan in the side already.
‘they are impressed by his ability and believe that they can turn him into that next big thing – especially now that Graham Potter is in charge of the club.
‘For the right money – he would be a very good signing for the club – but it will be a tough task to actually get a deal done with all the Issues in the world right now.
‘But he is a talent and would be a great buy.
‘However – Potter has some serious issues that he needs to sort out and we are not sure that signing a talent like Zacharyan for now would be the best way to solve his issues.
‘He would be a good signing for the Blues – but not to solve the clubs issues in attack.”is
