Journalist Fabrizio Romano has reported that Hakim Ziyech has finalized his move to Wydad Casablanca, returning to Morocco with a one-year contract. This marks an emotional homecoming for the player.
At 32, Ziyech joins Wydad as a free agent after leaving Al-Duhail in the summer of 2025, ending weeks of speculation about where he would go next.
Several clubs in Europe and the Middle East showed interest, but Ziyech decided to return to his home country.
Ziyech became well-known for his play at the 2022 World Cup and during his time at Ajax. Inconsistent performances and loans to Galatasaray and Al-Duhail marked his period at Chelsea.
His return to Casablanca marks a fresh start for Ziyech, representing an essential moment in his career.
The player’s creativity and experience can help drive the team’s domestic and continental ambitions as they compete for both the Botola Pro title and CAF Champions League glory.
