Bad news has come from Greece regarding Hakim Ziyech, whom Galatasaray wants to part ways with. Olympiakos, interested in the Moroccan star, has abandoned the transfer for three reasons. Ziyech has a contract with the yellow-red team until the end of the season.
There is a deadlock regarding Hakim Ziyech at Galatasaray. The Moroccan star, who has fallen out of favor and for whom every possible way is being tried for his departure from the team, cannot leave the yellow-reds.
OLYMPIAKOS HAS ABANDONED THE TRANSFER
The Greek team Olympiakos, which was interested in Ziyech, has abandoned the transfer. According to a report from the Greek press outlet Sportime, there are three reasons for Olympiakos's decision to withdraw from the transfer.
HERE ARE THE REASONS
- The first reason is that Olympiakos's head coach Luis Mendilibar does not want a player who does not give his all in both attack and defense. Mendilibar, who expects goal contributions from his midfielders, does not prefer Hakim Ziyech, who has been far from producing goals for a long time.
- Another issue for Olympiakos is that the transfer is quite costly. While the cost of the transfer is expected to exceed 3 million euros, the Greek team does not want to take on this burden as they previously experienced a similar process with Willian.
- Lastly, Hakim Ziyech's extensive injury history is a concern. The Greek giant sees Ziyech's injury problems as a significant issue.
ZIYECH'S PERFORMANCE THIS SEASON
In the 2024-2025 season, Hakim Ziyech has played 11 matches in all competitions for the yellow-reds, recording 1 assist in the 320 minutes he spent on the field. The 31-year-old footballer's current market value is reported to be 7 million euros, and his contract expires at the end of the season.
