Reports in the Moroccan press describe a tense situation between Wydad Athletic Club and Hakim Ziyech.
The Casablanca-based club’s management is reportedly considering ending the Moroccan international’s tenure early, as he has been unable to meet the financial demands set when he joined the team.
Signed through 2027 to lead the Reds sporting project, the former Chelsea and Ajax player categorically refuses to accept a pay cut.
While the new leadership seeks to reduce the club’s payroll, the attacking midfielder insists on strict adherence to the terms negotiated when he signed his contract.
This impasse is causing concern among Wydad fans, as the fear of losing a key player adds to the uncertainties of the offseason.
While Ziyech has expressed his desire to stay and honor his commitments in Morocco, club officials find themselves caught between their budgetary constraints and managing a highly tense locker room.
