Galatasaray Sets €3 Million Minimum for Ziyech Transfer Amid Olympiacos Interest

The wish of Moroccan international Hakim Ziyech to join his former club, Ajax Amsterdam, is struggling to materialize. He will leave Galatasaray this summer for a Greek club.

Greece rather than the Netherlands. Disappointed with the adventure in Turkey, Hakim is seeking to leave Galatasaray this summer. His wish is to return to Ajax Amsterdam where he experienced years of glory, but no contact has been made with the management of the Dutch club. It is rather Olympiacos who would be the most interested, according to Sport Time. And, Galatasaray will not let go of its player, for a minimum contract of less than 3 million euros.

The rupture seems total between Galatasaray and Ziyech. The latter has deleted all photos related to Galatasaray from his Instagram account. Relegated to the bench in the last match, the Moroccan international is ready to do anything to leave Turkey this summer.

Ziyech arrived at Galatasaray in August 2023 on loan from Chelsea with a purchase option. A transfer carried out as part of a deal worth 3.6 million euros (3.86 million dollars). The Turkish club exercised the purchase option that became free thanks to clauses fulfilled at the end of the year. But the recent performances of the former Chelsea attacking midfielder do not really guarantee his stay in the Turkish club. Despite the 8 goals scored and the 4 assists in 23 matches, his performance is considered insufficient given his high salary.
