The Moroccan star at a crossroads

Hakim Ziyech's crisis with Wydad has grown more complicated in recent times. The player is now searching for a way out to end the uncertainty surrounding his future.

According to press reports, Ziyech has recently drawn interest from one of the Arab clubs, and that could offer a solution to his problem with Wydad president Ibrahim El Aasri.

Things have escalated. Paulo Sergio's technical staff left Ziyech out of the Agadir camp, and the player insists the club president is behind that decision, punishing him for refusing to take a pay cut.

  • Will Ziyech turn to FIFA?

    Ziyech's relationship with Wydad has soured in recent weeks over financial, sporting and disciplinary disputes. Several meetings between the two parties have failed to bring their positions any closer.

    Things escalated when Ziyech took to social media to accuse Wydad's president, Ibrahim El Assri, of lying.

    Wydad want to draw a line under the crisis. Ziyech, though, is holding out for his dues, and he may take his case to FIFA if no agreement is reached, according to the same source.
