Ziyech Shines with Galatasaray Despite Uncertain Future

Hakim Ziyech delivered a notable performance on Sunday in his team Galatasaray’s match against Samsunspor in matchday 12 of the Turkish Super League, where he provided the third and decisive assist to his teammate Michy Batshuayi in the 3-2 victory.

The Moroccan star entered as a substitute in the 82nd minute, replacing Victor Osimhen, and quickly made his mark with a precise pass to Batshuayi who scored the winning goal for his team.

Despite this impressive performance, doubts continue to surround Ziyech’s future in Istanbul, with speculation arising in recent weeks about his potential departure from the club. Reports indicate that his limited playing time and adaptation to coach Okan Buruk’s style have been questioned.

Turkish sports journalist Ali Naci Küçük revealed tension in the relationship between Ziyech and his coach Buruk since the Moroccan player’s arrival in Istanbul. The coach appears to prefer other attacking options, suggesting Ziyech might continue to remain on the bench in upcoming matches.

The question now arises whether his impressive performance against Samsunspor will mark a turning point in his career with the club. With the winter transfer window approaching, the coming months could be decisive in determining the Moroccan player’s future with Galatasaray.
