Dutch football club Ajax Amsterdam joined the race to sign Moroccan international Hakim Ziyech.

Ziyech’s transfer remains a priority for the player, after he had been outside the accounts of Chelsea’s coach Graham Potter and Thomas Tuchel before him.

Dutch media “Soccer news” reports confirm that Ajax Amsterdam’s board moved to make an official offer to Chelsea in order to sign Ziyech, who shone in Amsterdam for many seasons.

The same sources revealed that Ziyech, who is 29 years old, wants to change the atmosphere during the current winter “Mercato”, after Chelsea’s Head Coach decided his position with him, and put him out of his accounts once and for all, despite his eye catching performances in the Qatar World Cup 2022.

They indicate that Ziyech received several offers from large European clubs such as Milan, before Ajax moved in turn to bring him back, after he spent four seasons from 2016 to 2020 in Amsterdam, presenting the best version of himself in the shirt of the legendary club in the Netherlands.

Ziyech had played 112 matches for Ajax Amsterdam, during which he scored 38 goals, and was one of the most prominent stars of the team, before he left for Stamford Bridge in an experiment that had not been successful so far.

It is noteworthy that Ziyech’s current Chelsea contract extends until the summer of 2025.
