Bayern Munich Denies Interest in Moroccan Star Hakim Ziyech, Seeks Versatile Winger

While many saw Hakim Ziyech in the sights of the German club Bayern Munich, German media have just stated that this is not the case. His profile would not correspond to what the club is looking for.

Hespress writes in this sense: "Hakim Ziyech can erase Bayern Munich from his list for a possible transfer this summer. According to the German daily Kicker, the Bundesliga club would never have had the intention of recruiting the Moroccan international during the summer transfer window".

The reason given would be that the German club is actually looking for a player who can work wonders on both wings and that its preference therefore naturally goes to players like Callum Hudson-Odoi, from Chelsea, or Nicolas Pepe who, although playing in Lille in Ligue 1, would be worth around 60 million euros. Bayern Munich seems to know exactly what it wants.

On the other hand, the hour is far from being defeatist since the undeniable qualities of Hakim Ziyech still give him choice suitors, among which we can cite a non-rancorous Real Madrid (a large part of their elimination from the Champions League is due to Ziyech), AS Roma, Borussia Dortmund, or even Manchester United. His price would be around 40 million euros.
