The relationship between the 33-year-old Moroccan international and the club's management has deteriorated significantly over the past few weeks, making a departure increasingly likely. According to 11Lions.nl, a move to Brazil is on the cards, with Botafogo reportedly showing interest in signing the former Ajax and Chelsea player. This has been confirmed by GE Globo.
Ziyech's problems with the medical staff, missing training sessions, and being left out of the team have all contributed to the deteriorating situation. The conflict escalated further when he publicly criticized club president Ibrahim El Asri on social media in late August.
A transfer to Botafogo now seems more realistic, with the Brazilian club reportedly offering a contract until December 2028.
