Hakim Ziyech unveiled as Galatasaray player - but there's a catch

Hakim Ziyech has already posed for photos as a new player of Galatasaray where he'll spend the next season.

There's no guarantee, however, that Ziyech will stay in Galatasaray beyond that - because this transfer has turned out to be a loan.

"An agreement has been reached with professional football player Hakim Ziyech and Chelsea Football Club Limited on the free temporary transfer of the player with free purchase option," the club statement said, as quoted by Fotomac.

It means that the Turkish club have freedom of action when it comes to Ziyech's future. If the move works out they can have him for free and if not, they can return him back to Chelsea.

It's fair to say that this would not be the most desired outcome for Ziyech who has pushed to leave Chelsea since January.

"I am very happy and excited to play in Turkey's biggest club Galatasaray," Ziyech said.

"I want to leave a mark like other successful players in Galatasaray's history. I have confidence in myself. We will be successful as a team. I believe in this."
