Revealed a few years ago within Ajax Amsterdam, Hakim Ziyech has since traveled a lot. England, Turkey, Qatar and even Morocco, the midfielder has constantly changed clubs without managing to register for the long term with one of them. Just released from the contract that bound him to Wydad Casablanca, he will join Botafogo.
And this will therefore be the opportunity to discover a new championship for the player who is now thirty-three years old. According to information revealed this Sunday by L’Équipe, Hakim Ziyech has reached an agreement with the Brazilian club’s recruiters. The two parties agreed on a lease of almost two years, until December 2028.
Champion of Brazil in 2024 and winner of the Copa Libertadores the same year, Botafogo is currently experiencing a much less prosperous period and occupies a very modest thirteenth place after twenty-four days.
Hakim Ziyech will help Botafogo
The Brazilian club is therefore counting on its future recruit to help it get back on track. According to the sports media, Hakim Ziyech is expected at the start of the week in Rio de Janeiro. Once there, it will be time for him to sign his contract and then continue with the traditional presentation to the public and the media.
Semi-finalist of the 2022 World Cup, Hakim Ziyech was not called up from the Atlas Lions for the 2026 World Cup. He is no less ready for this new Brazilian mission.
