Hakim Ziyech has become a permanent player for Galatasaray after a loan spell from Chelsea. The transfer is free as the conditions of the free purchase option in the temporary transfer contract were met.

Hakim Ziyech joined Galatasaray on loan from Chelsea for the 2023/24 season with a view to making the deal permanent. There was confusion over whether this clause was optional or obligatory. Nevertheless, Ziyech's move to Turkey on a permanent basis has now been confirmed. Galatasaray's statement said the final transfer was made free of charge as the free purchase option conditions in the temporary transfer contract were met. Ziyech has left Chelsea on a free transfer but they stand to make money if Galatasaray sell him due to a sell-on clause in the deal.
