Al-Ittihad Targets Hakim Ziyech Amid Wydad Crisis

Al-Ittihad have made their move for Hakim Ziyech, sensing opportunity in the middle of a full-blown crisis between the Moroccan star and Wydad that has thrown his future into chaos.

According to “Africa Foot”, the Libyan club have put a substantial financial package on the table, designed to tempt Ziyech into a swift switch. The offer is described as attractive and ready to go, with Al-Ittihad prepared to act quickly if the door opens.

For now, nothing is done. Ziyech’s contractual standoff with Wydad is still dragging on, with no breakthrough in sight.

Relationship Breakdown

What began as a dispute has turned into a deep rift. The relationship between Ziyech and Wydad has deteriorated sharply in recent weeks amid financial, sporting and disciplinary disagreements. Several sit-downs between the player and the club hierarchy have failed to bridge the gap, each meeting only underlining how far apart the two sides remain.

Public Dispute

Then the tension exploded into the open. Ziyech went public on social media, accusing Wydad president Ibrahim El Assri of lying. The row, once confined to boardrooms and private calls, suddenly became a very public power struggle.

Next Steps

Wydad are keen to put an end to the turmoil and move on. Ziyech is not backing down. He is standing firm over what he believes he is owed and, according to the same source, is prepared to take his case to FIFA if no agreement is reached.

Al-Ittihad are watching all of this closely. If the conflict in Casablanca cannot be resolved, the Libyan side are ready to turn Ziyech’s crisis into their opportunity.
