€100,000 per month: Ziyech’s salary poses a problem for Wydad

Arriving at Wydad in 2025 after spells in Europe and the Middle East, the former Chelsea player wants to continue his adventure with the Casablanca club. But the new presidency led by Ibrahim El Asri is seeking to rebalance the squad’s finances, and the Moroccan’s contract has become a symbol of this desire for change.

Wydad’s management considers Ziyech’s salary particularly high given the club’s current financial situation. The player nevertheless remains an important member of the squad and wants to see out his commitment to the Red and Whites.

The situation illustrates the dilemma facing Ibrahim El Asri: retain one of Moroccan football’s biggest stars or reduce a wage bill deemed too heavy to allow the club to rebuild its team.

Wydad is indeed emerging from a difficult period both sporting and financially. The new management wants to give the club fresh impetus while avoiding a repeat of certain expenditures that have weighed on its accounts.

An uncertain future

Hakim Ziyech reportedly does not want to leave Casablanca and has indicated that he wants to continue his career with Wydad. The player believes his contract must be honored, while the management is seeking a solution compatible with its financial objectives.

This situation is also attracting the attention of foreign clubs, particularly in the Gulf, which could take advantage of a possible opening if no compromise is reached between the two parties.

For Wydad, the Ziyech case therefore goes beyond the simple question of one player. It represents the new presidency’s first major strategic decision: continue relying on established stars or favor a more financially balanced model.
