Galatasaray's decision on Ziyech after exercising purchase option
Super Lig team Galatasaray reportedly wants to keep their 31-year-old Moroccan star Hakim Ziyech on the roster.
Galatasaray's second overseas training camp is ongoing in Austria, where head coach Okan Buruk is closely monitoring his players' performances. One standout player during the training sessions and friendly matches has been Hakim Ziyech, known for his determination and improving form.
Although the Moroccan player faced criticism throughout most of last season, he participated in both training camps. Ziyech came off the bench against Fortuna Düsseldorf but started in the matches against Trencin, Lecce, and Parma. His performance against Lecce, where he scored one goal and provided one assist, earned him praise from the fans.
UNLESS ASTRONOMICAL OFFER COMES...
According to TRT Spor, Galatasaray's management aims to keep the 31-year-old player on the roster unless an astronomical offer is received. Ziyech's competitive spirit indicates his desire to remain with the team.
In addition to Ziyech, Galatasaray's wing rotation includes Zaha, Barış Alper Yılmaz, Kerem Aktürkoğlu, Yusuf Demir, and Yunus Akgün.
CONTRIBUTION IN 23 MATCHES: 12 GOALS
Hakim Ziyech, who initially joined Galatasaray on loan last season, was signed permanently at the beginning of the current season. In the previous season, he made a notable impact, scoring 8 goals and providing 4 assists in 23 matches.
