Announced leaving Galatasaray this winter, Hakim Ziyech does not deny it at all. On the contrary, the Moroccan proclaims his desire to leave the Turkish champion. An episode which fixes the affairs of its transfer window contender, Rennes.
Only 12th in Ligue 1 currently, Stade Rennais must strengthen in January to still hope to join the fight for Europe. The arrival of Jorge Sampaoli on the Breton bench does not necessarily make this club in crisis more attractive. However, Rennes quickly targeted Hakim Ziyech in the transfer window. The Moroccan midfielder who played for Ajax and Chelsea is a very talented player but also very expensive in terms of salary. Fortunately for Sampaoli and his management, Ziyech’s sporting situation at Galatasaray is chaotic. Very little used by his trainer in recent weeks, the Moroccan no longer hides his frustration.
Ziyech announces his departure in the press
Questioned by the Turkish media Sports Night on his current situation, Hakim Ziyech was very frank. He considers himself mistreated by his coach Okan Buruk, who is severely criticized by the 31-year-old player. The metronome of the Atlas Lions no longer wants to stay in Istanbul, publicly demanding his transfer from the January transfer window.
« Galatasaray, it’s over for me. I don’t want to play, I’m leaving in January. […] I have never seen a coach as bad as Okan Buruk. […] Will Galatasaray be champion? I don’t really care…I already regret coming “, he said in particular to the Turkish media. A resounding outing which will not leave the supporters of the reigning Turkish champion indifferent. On the other hand, it is all good for Stade Rennais. Galatasaray will have a hard time raising the price of a pariah like Ziyech and the latter cannot be too greedy if he wants to relaunch his career in France.
