Hakim Ziyech, who made headlines by scoring in both legs against Real Madrid in the Champions League, has reportedly caught the attention of the Spanish giants. According to Don Balon, Real Madrid are “seriously considering” signing the Moroccan winger, with club president Florentino Pérez reportedly impressed by Ziyech’s performance at the Santiago Bernabéu.
The 26-year-old Ajax star, under contract until June 2021, has been on the radar of Europe’s top clubs for several seasons, but his recent Champions League exploits have further boosted his profile. Ziyech’s ability to perform on the biggest stage—scoring against Real Madrid in two crucial matches—has only reinforced his reputation as one of Ajax’s standout performers.
Don Balon notes that Pérez sees Ziyech as a priority signing, and preliminary inquiries into his transfer value suggest a potential fee of around €25 million. Ziyech himself reportedly feels ready to leave the Eredivisie for a bigger league, believing the Dutch top flight has become too small for his ambitions.
Beyond Real Madrid, several European clubs are reportedly tracking Ziyech’s situation. These include Roma, Borussia Dortmund, Bayern Munich, and Manchester United, highlighting the wide-ranging interest in the dynamic winger.
While his next destination remains undecided, major negotiations and interest are already underway. With his performances in the Champions League confirming his quality at the highest level, Ziyech is expected to join a top-four team in one of Europe’s leading leagues in the near future.
