Maarten Vledder, known as Kokkie, has reported that Moroccan winger Hakim Ziyech, 33, is open to a return to Ajax. Vledder stated that he had personal contact with Ziyech last week. According to Vledder, Ziyech would gladly accept Ajax as an option. Vledder also noted he is unsure if Ajax would want him. Ziyech is reportedly having a good year in Morocco with Wydad Casablanca. He has one year remaining on his contract, which contains a clause that allows him to leave if an interesting club makes an approach and he wishes to go.
Ziyech previously played for the Amsterdam club from mid-2016 until February 2020, when he was sold to Chelsea for around forty million euros. In the 2025/2026 Botola Pro Inwi season, Ziyech has scored 7 goals and provided 2 assists in 9 appearances. The Moroccan international has 64 caps and 25 goals for his country and has a current Transfermarkt market value of €2.50m.
