Wydad’s management has reportedly decided to end its association with Hakim Ziyech, despite the potential for a considerable financial cost from such a termination. According to Africafoot, Ziyech was recently left out of the Wydad squad. The separation is said to be the result of several weeks of tensions concerning financial, sporting, and disciplinary disagreements. It is reported that Wydad president Ibrahim El Asri held two meetings with Hakim Ziyech to attempt to reach an agreement to reduce the player’s high salary. Africafoot revealed that Hakim Ziyech is said to have refused this proposal, choosing instead to adhere to the terms of his contract and maintain his financial conditions. Wydad’s management ultimately decided to maintain his salary, which is estimated at €110,000 per month.

A recent social media post by Hakim Ziyech, in which he directly challenged the Wydad president and accused him of lying, is said to have been the final cause for the separation between the two parties.
