Tensions between the player and the technical staff could also explain this sidelining. Ziyech’s future within the club is now uncertain, especially since the club’s management had already considered parting ways with him before the start of the season, recalls the same source. The departure of certain players and the absence of replacements convinced the club to keep it temporarily.
The exclusion of Ziyech, a few days before the Europa League match against Tottenham, raises many questions. Is this a temporary decision by the coach or a permanent sidelining? A return of Ziyech to Ajax Amsterdam, his former club, is mentioned by certain media for the next winter transfer window.
Rumors also send the Moroccan player to the United States and Qatar. In any case, it is very likely that Hakim Ziyech will leave Turkey during the next winter transfer window.
