Moroccan Star Ziyech Faces Uncertain Future at Galatasaray

Although Ziyech remained with the club due to a lack of satisfactory offers, he does not seem to be part of coach Okan Buruk’s plans for this season. The latter, concerned about preserving the team’s cohesion, would consider parting ways with the Moroccan player.

Moreover, a clause in Ziyech’s contract provided for an automatic one-year extension if he participated in 50% of the official matches. According to some sources, the club would intend not to activate this option.

Arrived on loan to Galatasaray from Chelsea in August 2023, Hakim Ziyech had his purchase option exercised for free last summer thanks to contractual clauses. However, despite 8 goals and 4 assists in 23 matches, his performances had not really convinced. The Moroccan attacking midfielder’s performance is considered insufficient given his high salary.
