Hakim Ziyech has parted ways with Wydad Casablanca, with the club confirming the departure. The Moroccan midfielder had been at the club since October last year, scoring nine goals and providing two assists in 16 appearances. Wydad Casablanca has stated that Ziyech is no longer under contract with the club, with a contract termination agreed upon.

The exact reason for Ziyech's departure remains unclear, but it is reported that he was at odds with the club's president, Ibrahim El Asri, over his salary. Ziyech is now reportedly set to join Botafogo, although this has not been officially confirmed.
