Galatasaray wants to send Hakim Ziyech back to Chelsea in January because there is dissatisfaction with his performance. NTV Spor reports this. The thirty-year-old playmaker has so far scored four goals and two assists in fourteen games for the Turkish top club, but may be in his last weeks with the team.
NTV Spor reports that Ziyech has so far failed to meet Galatasaray’s expectations and that is why the club wants to send him back to London. The attacker and midfielder has regularly struggled with injuries this season and has therefore missed thirteen games for the Turkish top club.
If Galatasaray indeed send him back to Chelsea, it would be a hard blow for Ziyech. The 54-time Morocco international was actually happy that he could leave the Blues for another club last summer. Ziyech was at a dead end with the English and was reportedly close to a move to Al-Nassr, but that transfer fell through for unknown reasons.
The Moroccan playmaker also had to miss the Super Cup match against Fenerbahçe due to an injury. However, the match, which was played in Saudi Arabia, did not take place because the authorities did not allow the warm-up shirts of both teams and did not respond to the request to enter the field beforehand with a banner of Atatürk depicting the message: ‘Peace at home, peace in the world.’
There is little chance that Ziyech will get a chance from Chelsea if he indeed returns to the club in January. On paper, the ex-Ajax player may leave for another club, as he has not yet played for Chelsea this season. FIFA does not allow players to play for three different clubs in one season.
Ziyech broke through on the European stage during his Ajax period and earned a transfer to Chelsea in the summer of 2020, which paid forty million euros for him. The playmaker won the Champions League, the UEFA Super Cup and the World Cup for club teams with the Londoners, but was never actually a permanent fixture.
The left foot still has a contract with Chelsea until mid-2025. After 107 games for the Londoners, the counter stands at 14 goals and 13 assists. Ziyech has also been called up by Morocco for the Africa Cup. The tournament will be played in Ivory Coast between January 13 and February 11.
