Moroccan Star Ziyech Eyes Saudi Move as Galatasaray Stint Falters

The future of Hakim Ziyech at Galatasaray seems to be written far from Turkey. The Moroccan player’s agent has confirmed to the Turkish management that he has received offers from the Gulf countries, particularly Saudi Arabia.

According to his statements reported by the Turkish press: "There is a demand for Ziyech from the Gulf countries. If you wish, I can bring an offer."

This departure seems to appeal to the club’s management, eager to reduce their payroll. Injured several times last season, Ziyech did not fully confirm the expectations placed in him. Although he scored 8 goals and provided 4 assists in 23 matches, his performance is considered insufficient given his high salary.

Arrived from Chelsea last summer, the Moroccan international is linked to Galatasaray until June 2025. As his contract is set to expire in a year, the Turkish leaders could be tempted to sell their player this summer in order to make a financial profit.
