Clubs prepare to bid for Hakim Ziyech after declaring intent to end Galatasaray stay

Several top clubs across Europe are gearing up to sign Moroccan winger Hakim Ziyech in the upcoming January transfer window.

This follows the player’s announcement of his intention to leave Turkish Super Lig club Galatasaray, where he has struggled for consistent playing time.

Ziyech, who joined Galatasaray on loan from Chelsea, has fallen out of favour under head coach Okan Buruk. In a recent statement, the 31-year-old expressed his dissatisfaction with the coach’s management style, which he blames for his lack of opportunities on the pitch.

As speculation about his future intensifies, Ziyech has become a hot commodity in the transfer market. Reports from NTV Spor suggest that he is being pursued by multiple clubs, including Stade Rennais in France, Benfica in Portugal, and AZ Alkmaar in the Netherlands.

Greek side Olympiakos, MLS club Los Angeles Galaxy, and Qatari outfit Al Arabi are also reportedly interested in acquiring his services.

Despite his limited appearances this season—11 games with one assist—the Moroccan international remains a highly sought-after player, known for his technical ability and creativity.

With offers likely to come from various leagues, Ziyech faces an important decision about his next destination.

Whether he opts for a European club to reignite his career or explores lucrative opportunities outside Europe, the upcoming transfer window promises to be pivotal for the Atlas Lion.
