Hakim Ziyech joins Wydad Athletic Club until 2027 in a free transfer deal

The Moroccan Wydad Athletic Club announced on Thursday that it has officially signed international star Hakim Ziyech in a free transfer deal, strengthening the team's lineup with a contract that extends until 2027 with an option to extend.

Ziyech's joining, who shone with the Moroccan national team in the Qatar 2022 World Cup, comes as part of Wydad's preparations for the upcoming Club World Cup in the United States, where he will play alongside veteran Nordin Amrabat, who joined the team during the summer transfer window.

This deal is considered one of the most significant moves in Moroccan football this season, as Wydad relies on Ziyech's European experience to enhance its continental and international presence.
