Moroccan international, Hakim Ziyech, is reportedly considering a move away from Galatasaray in the upcoming January transfer window, over a lack of playing time.
Despite Galatasaray’s strong standing as leaders of the Süper Lig and contenders in the Europa League, the 31-year-old attacking midfielder has struggled to find his footing this season.
He has featured in just five league games, a stark contrast to the player who once dazzled Europe with his talent at Ajax.
Ziyech’s tenure with the Turkish giants has been marred by injuries, inconsistent performances, and reported tensions with head coach Okan Buruk. His recent appearance in Galatasaray’s 2-2 Europa League draw against Malmö was met with criticism from fans, who blamed him for a perceived lack of effort leading to the opposition’s equalizer.
While the Atlas Lion’s stint in Istanbul has fallen short of expectations, interest from several clubs could provide a lifeline. Reports suggest that a Ligue 1 side may be leading the race to secure his signature, offering Ziyech a chance to revive his career and regain his form.
The January transfer window could mark a fresh start for Ziyech, who is eager to find a club where he can once again showcase the brilliance that once made him one of Europe’s most coveted players.
