Saudi Club Al-Shabab Makes $40 Million Bid for Morocco’s Hakim Ziyech

Al-Shabab wants to acquire the services of Hakim Ziyech. The Saudi club is said to have offered the Moroccan international a massive contract worth a total of 37.5 million euros over two and a half years to join its squad, according to Turkish media reports. A proposal that would interest the 30-year-old player who "would have already informed" the management of his club, Galatasaray.

This is not the first time this club has shown interest in the Moroccan international. It tried to recruit him during the summer 2023 transfer window, but the transfer did not materialize due to an alleged failed medical examination.

Ziyech joined Galatasaray, the reigning Turkish champions, on August 19 on loan with a purchase option. He has delivered a series of quality performances before running into difficulties due to injuries. The 30-year-old player featured in the club’s clash against Manchester United in November, scoring twice and providing an assist in the 3-3 draw.
