Moroccan international Hakim Ziyech has completed a return to his homeland, signing a one-year contract with Wydad Casablanca after a period as a free agent. The deal was finalized on Wednesday, October 22, according to renowned transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano .
Ziyech, 32, has had a distinguished career across several top European leagues. He rose to prominence at Ajax, earning a £40 million move to Chelsea in 2020. During his time in London, he won the UEFA Champions League, UEFA Super Cup, and FIFA Club World Cup. However, his subsequent moves to Galatasaray and Al-Duhail in Qatar were less impactful, leading to brief stints at both clubs .
Despite interest from clubs in Serie A and Spain, Ziyech opted to return to Morocco, where he began his professional career. Wydad Casablanca, one of Morocco’s most successful football clubs, currently sits second in the Botola Pro League, just one point behind leaders Maghreb of Fez with a game in hand .
Ziyech’s arrival at Wydad has been met with mixed reactions from fans. Some have expressed concerns about his recent form, while others are hopeful that he can recapture his best performances and contribute to the club’s domestic and continental ambitions .
This move represents a new chapter for Ziyech, as he aims to revive his career and contribute to the success of one of Morocco’s most prestigious football clubs.
