After just one start this season in the league, and despite appearances in the Champions League, Hakim Ziyech does not seem to be in the odor of sanctity on the Galatasaray side. Especially since the Moroccan would have castigated his own club.

At the time, the 2021 Champions League winner arrived on loan from his club Chelsea. After returning to form in the Istanbul-based club (8 goals last season), the now 31-year-old returned for a year last summer, this time leaving the London club for good.
“Let them leave me alone”
“I was supposed to leave at the start of the season but they didn’t want to. I’m leaving in January,” said Ziyech according to Turkish journalist Haluk Yurekli. “Galatasaray, it’s over for me, I told them I was leaving in January. They don’t ask me anything anymore, I do what I want. I have never seen a coach as bad as Okan Buruk. Yes Can Galatasaray win the title? I don’t give a damn… Let them leave me alone, whatever happens, I already regret coming” the former Ajax player also said.
