Moroccan international Hakim Ziyech is said to be ‘offering himself to Barcelona’ after fears that Chelsea’s signing spree will push him down the pecking order.

According to the Spanish newspaper ‘Sport,’ Hakim Ziyech wants to replace Memphis Depay at FC Barcelona. 

The Moroccan striker is eager to reach Camp Nou and has volunteered to join Xavi’s project in the Barcelona squad during the winter transfer window.

The player is out of minutes at Chelsea and is looking for a way to contribute to an important team. 

In this regard, he favors the Barcelona option, having long admired the team, explained the same source.

 This will be the third time that the player has been in the Barca orbit.

Barca had him on the agenda in 2020, before Chelsea paid Ajax 40 million euros for his signing, and last season he was about to arrive on loan in the winter market under very good conditions. 

Eventually, the sports management decided to bring in the players Adama and Ferran Torres on loan.

Ziyech had been wanting to move from Chelsea to Milan in November before considering a move to Barcelona now.

According to Calciomercato sports media, the midfielder was considering leaving the Blues because he thought he was not getting enough playing time.

Ziyech has missed most of Chelsea’s games this season, appearing in only 185 minutes of action in the English Premier League and the Champions League since the start of the season.

The Moroccan player’s remarkable performance in the Qatar 2022 world cup made him stand out as a brilliant sportsman, which justifies why now, Barcelona is interested in the player.
