In tough times at Galatasaray (only 5 league matches played this season), Hakim Ziyech could leave the Turkish club in the winter transfer window. Several teams would have positioned themselves, but a Ligue 1 club would hold the rope to relaunch the Moroccan.
The time when the native of Dronten (Netherlands) splashed Europe with his talent under the colors of Ajax seems a long way off. At 31, the attacking midfielder is going through one of the most difficult periods of his career. His club, Galatasaray, is leader of the Süperlig and plays the leading roles in the Europa League, led by the great Victor Osimhen.
Unfortunately, the contribution of Lion of the Atlas is limited. Between injuries, tensions with his coach Okan Buruk or irregularities in his performances, the Moroccan’s stay in the Bosphorus does not confirm the promising beginnings glimpsed during his loan last season. Coming into play on Thursday against Malmö (2-2) in the Europa League, Ziyech was even targeted by certain supporters, who pointed out his casual attitude on the opponent’s equalizing goal.
Ziyech open to departure
In this context, a change of scenery from January seems to be the best option. Last week, the Turkish press announced interest from Stade Rennais. And according to information from 360 sportthe file would now be on track.
According to the Moroccan site, it’s Jorge Sampaoli, the team’s whimsical Argentinian trainer françaisewhich would push its leaders to make the transfer a reality. Talks are already underway between the two parties. The player would have validated the idea of leaving, wishing at all costs find the national selectionfrom whom he has moved away in recent months.
It remains to be seen whether it will be a loan or a direct transfer, the emoluments of the “Wizard” (3 million euros) which could potentially cool the Bretons.
