Al-Ittihad's Bold Move for Hakim Ziyech Amid Wydad Crisis

Al-Ittihad have stepped into the storm surrounding Hakim Ziyech, launching a serious bid as the Morocco international’s relationship with Wydad teeters on the brink.

According to "Africa Foot", the Libyan club have submitted a substantial financial offer and are prepared to act fast, putting an attractive package on the table to tempt Ziyech away. They sense an opening. And right now, his future at Wydad looks anything but secure.

Nothing is agreed. Not yet. Negotiations over his contract with Wydad are still dragging on, with no breakthrough in sight.

What began as internal tension has now spilled into the open. Ziyech’s ties with Wydad have frayed in recent weeks, strained by financial, sporting and disciplinary disputes. Several meetings have been held between the player and the club hierarchy, but each round of talks has ended in deadlock.

The situation ignited when Ziyech went public, using social media to accuse Wydad president Ibrahim El Assri of lying. That post turned a private row into a full-blown crisis.

Inside the club, there is a desire to close the chapter quickly. Wydad want to put the saga behind them and restore calm. Ziyech is not backing down. He is pushing for what he believes he is owed and, according to the same source, is ready to escalate the matter to FIFA if no agreement is reached.

Al-Ittihad are watching all of this unfold and moving with intent. If Wydad cannot find a way to repair the damage, the Libyan side are waiting to turn this crisis into their opportunity.
