Moroccan superstar Hakim Ziyech is heading back to where it all began Wydad Casablanca.

After becoming a free agent, Ziyech has now agreed to join the Moroccan giants, marking an emotional homecoming for the 32-year-old playmaker.

The deal was finalized on Wednesday after weeks of discussions, with several clubs previously interested in securing his signature.

Hakim Ziyech

Ziyech, who has enjoyed an illustrious career across Europe with Ajax, Chelsea, and Galatasaray, will now begin a new chapter in Morocco, bringing his wealth of experience back to Botola Pro League.

The former Chelsea star represents Morocco national team after switching international allegiance from his birth place, the Netherlands, who he represented in the Under -20 and 21s.

The midfielder arrived Stamford Bridge for 2020/21 season from Dutch side Ajax for £40 million.

In his first two seasons he won the Champions League, UEFA Super Cup.

Ziyech, known as “the wizard”, suffered from a dip in form in his last season before moving to Turkish side – Galatasaray.

Galatasaray terminated his contract in January 2025 by mutual agreement after he made just 23 appearances for club.
