Galatasaray Secures Permanent Stay for Moroccan Star Hakim Ziyech
In a definitive move securing Hakim Ziyech's future in Turkish football, Galatasaray has exercised the option to acquire the Moroccan international on a permanent basis from Chelsea. Renowned transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano confirms that the Turkish club has communicated its decision to retain Ziyech, with Chelsea confirming the permanent transfer agreement via letter.
Ziyech's coach, Okan Buruk, had previously announced the news following Galatasaray's victory over Sivasspor, affirming that the creative midfielder would remain with the club for the next season. Romano has further validated this development, confirming Ziyech's official status as a Galatasaray player.
"Hakim Ziyech will not return to Chelsea as he stays at Galatasaray on a permanent deal. Obligation to buy clause triggered and signed, with Chelsea already sending a letter to Gala confirming the agreement," Romano wrote on Twitter.
Initially rumored to be departing just a few weeks ago after a season plagued by injuries, Ziyech has remarkably reversed the situation, showcasing his pivotal role for the Turkish club in just four matches.
On Sunday, May 5, the Atlas Lion once again demonstrated his prowess, contributing to Galatasaray's emphatic 6-1 victory over Sivasspor with a brace. Ziyech opened the scoring in the 11th minute before doubling his tally in the second half.
The 31-year-old has now accumulated an impressive total of 4 goals and 1 assist in the last four matches, bringing his season totals to 8 goals and 4 assists across all competitions.
Ziyech's permanent acquisition by Galatasaray not only secures his immediate future but also underscores the club's confidence in his abilities. The Moroccan international's impact on the pitch has been undeniable, and his seamless integration into the Turkish side's setup bodes well for both parties.
As Galatasaray seeks to build upon their recent success, having Ziyech as a permanent fixture in their ranks will provide a significant boost. His creativity, technical prowess, and goal-scoring ability will undoubtedly be invaluable assets as the club sets its sights on further domestic and continental triumphs.
For Ziyech, the permanent move to Galatasaray represents a new chapter in his career, offering him the opportunity to establish himself as a pivotal figure in a club with a rich history and passionate fanbase. With his recent form serving as a testament to his quality, the Moroccan star will be eager to continue his impressive contributions and etch his name in Galatasaray's history.
