Champion of Turkey in his first season at Galatasaray on loan from Chelsea, Moroccan Hakim Ziyech has drawn interest despite his injury-plagued campaign, according to reports from Fanatik.
The Atlas Lion has received offers from clubs in Saudi Arabia and the United States, although specific teams haven’t been disclosed.
With Galatasaray, the Moroccan international featured in 23 matches, scoring 8 goals, revitalizing his career after a disappointing stint in London. In the 2022-2023 season, Ziyech managed just 18 appearances in the Premier League for Chelsea without scoring.
Currently on vacation in Marrakech, the Dronten-born player has found a more supportive environment where he feels appreciated. Galatasaray, having exercised their option to buy Ziyech, seems reluctant to sell. Coach Okan Buruk emphasized in a recent press conference, “Hakim Ziyech is our player and will stay with us next season.

He is important and valuable to us, and we want him to stay.” It remains to be seen if the 31-year-old will be tempted by opportunities in the Gulf, where football is booming and salaries are lucrative, or if he will opt for the American dream like Lionel Messi, Hugo Lloris, or Olivier Giroud. Answers are expected in the coming weeks.
