Gulf clubs eye Ziyech as Galatasaray prepares for departure
Monday 23 December 2024 - 09:27

The future of Moroccan international Hakim Ziyech, currently playing for Turkey’s Galatasaray, remains uncertain as he nears an exit from the club.

Several clubs, including some from the Gulf region, are reportedly interested in acquiring him during the upcoming winter transfer window.

According to “Foot Mercato,” Ziyech has caught the attention of several Gulf clubs, while Galatasaray is reportedly looking to facilitate his departure.

The player’s financial demands could tip the scales in favor of a move to the Gulf, rather than a European destination.

The 31-year-old has only played five matches for Galatasaray this season, contributing one assist.

He has also been absent from the Moroccan national team in recent fixtures, following a decision by coach Walid Regragui.

Ziyech joined Galatasaray on loan from Chelsea last season, with the option to buy, which the Turkish club exercised before the current season.
