Wydad yet to decide on Hakim Ziyech’s future amid financial considerations

The future of Morocco international Hakim Ziyech remains uncertain, with Wydad Casablanca’s new leadership preparing to decide whether the experienced midfielder will continue at the club.

The issue has become one of the first major decisions facing Wydad’s newly appointed steering committee, led by president Brahim El Asri, as the club begins planning for the next phase of its sporting project.

According to information provided by a source within Wydad to Le Site Info Sport, El Asri intends to carefully assess Ziyech’s situation before any final decision is reached.

The club’s hierarchy is expected to weigh the player’s importance on the pitch against wider considerations affecting the team’s future.

The report states that Ziyech’s sporting value and influence within the squad remain key factors in the discussions. However, the club will also take into account its financial position, as well as the views of the coach who will lead the team.

Those considerations mean no immediate decision has been made regarding the Morocco international’s future, with the club opting for a broader consultation before determining its next steps.

According to the same source, El Asri is expected to meet with Ziyech and his representative in the coming days. The discussions are expected to form part of a wider evaluation involving the club’s leadership and technical staff.

The final outcome will not rest solely with the president. Instead, the decision is expected to be taken after consultations with the incoming head coach, members of the board and other stakeholders within the club, with the aim of identifying the option that best serves Wydad’s interests.

Ziyech continues to be regarded as an important member of the squad, and his experience remains a valuable asset for the Casablanca-based club. Nevertheless, Wydad’s financial circumstances have introduced an additional layer of uncertainty to the process.

As a result, the club is keeping all possibilities under consideration. One option is to retain the Moroccan international as part of its plans for the upcoming campaign, while another would involve considering his departure should a suitable offer be received.

For now, no final verdict has been reached. The coming meetings between the club’s leadership, coaching staff and Ziyech’s representatives are expected to play a decisive role in determining whether the Moroccan midfielder continues his journey with Wydad Casablanca or brings his spell at the club to an end.
