Hakim Ziyech Commits to Galatasaray, Denies Saudi Transfer Rumors

Hakim Ziyech is staying in Turkey. The Moroccan international, in an interview with the Turkish media Millyet, categorically denied having received any offer from Saudi Arabia or a European club. He is eager to start the new season and give his best. "Honestly, I’m very impatient before the new season. No matter what they say, what matters is what I do. I see it day by day and I try to take advantage of it. I will try to do my best this year too," promised the 31-year-old player. He added: "I have no problem. I’m improving every day. I think I’ll be better this year."

Despite the injuries, the Atlas Lion has been able to shine with Galatasaray. He scored eight goals and provided four assists in 23 matches. This has seduced the fans who have given him the nickname "magician". A nickname he appreciates, but he has reservations. "I play my own game. I also try to please them. It’s a nice nickname, but it can change in an instant!"
