Galatasaray Coach Confirms Ziyech Set to Leave Club

Okan Buruk, Galatasaray’s coach, himself addressed the issue. According to his statements, discussions have taken place with the player. Rarely used this season, Ziyech would not have hidden his desire to leave the club. It must be said that the current form of Yunus, Barış and Sallai leaves him with little opportunity to stand out. A difficult situation to accept for a player of his stature.

"Hakim Ziyech is a world-class player," Okan Buruk acknowledged. A player of this caliber naturally aspires to be a regular starter. The coach also mentioned the player’s attitude. "The body language of this kind of player may not be good when they are substitutes, some live it inside, others outside," he explained.

Several clubs have expressed their intention to recruit him, particularly in France, England and some Arab countries such as Saudi Arabia and Qatar. What is certain is that the Moroccan will no longer be in Turkey next year.
