Hakim Ziyech is expected to leave Galatasaray during the mid-season transfer window. His performance this season has been criticized, and his departure is seen as certain. Rennes, managed by Jorge Sampaoli, is interested in strengthening their attacking lineup with Ziyech. According to Moroccan source le360, Rennes has already held initial talks with Ziyech, focusing primarily on salary matters. Ziyech is reportedly keen to join Rennes during the mid-season transfer window.

Hakim Ziyech, currently playing for Galatasaray, is reportedly being targeted by Rennes for a transfer in the winter window. The club, under the management of Jorge Sampaoli, is eager to bolster their attacking options by bringing in Ziyech. Although he is contracted with Galatasaray until June 2025, the club is open to letting him go in order to free up a non-EU player spot. Ziyech, who has faced challenges with injuries and maintaining form, is said to be attracted by the prospect of joining Rennes as he seeks to rejuvenate his career and secure his place in the Moroccan national team ahead of the 2025 African Cup of Nations.
