Hakim Ziyech is living a nightmare

The Moroccan international of Galatasaray, Hakim Ziyech, could be excluded from the first team, according to information reported by the Turkish press.

The newspaper Fanatik indicates that coach Okan Buruk made this decision following the player’s difficulties in establishing himself within the Istanbul club. Arrived at Galatasaray with great ambitions, Ziyech has only played 256 minutes, spread over 5 matches this season.

Tensions between the player and the technical staff could also explain this sidelining. Ziyech’s future within the club is now uncertain, especially since the club’s management had already considered parting ways with him before the start of the season, recalls the same source. The departure of certain players and the lack of replacements had then convinced the club to keep him temporarily.

Ziyech’s exclusion, a few days before the Europa League match against Tottenham, raises many questions. Is this a temporary decision by the coach or a definitive sidelining? A return of Ziyech to his former club Ajax Amsterdam is mentioned by some media for the next winter transfer window.

Rumors also send the Moroccan player to the United States and Qatar. In any case, it is very likely that Hakim Ziyech will leave Turkey during the next winter transfer window.
