According to the Dutch site vi.nl, Alfred Schreuder, coach of the Emirati club, wants to have the Moroccan international in his squad.

The same source indicates that the Dutch coach and the management of Al-Nasr have already started serious negotiations with Ziyech with a view to his transfer during the winter transfer window. The Moroccan striker from Galatasaray is one of the priorities of the Emirati club which intends to steal the spotlight from the numerous European and Arab clubs who have also expressed their intention to secure the services of the 31-year-old player.

Ziyech is going through a bad patch at Galatasaray. Dismissed by coach Okan Buruk, the Moroccan international expressed his wish to leave the Turkish club. This season, the Atlas Lion has only played five matches in the Turkish league, during which he provided an assist. Due to his lack of regularity at the club, he was not called up for selection by Walid Regragui for the Moroccan team’s final matches. His contract with Galatasaray runs until June 30, 2025.
