Contrary to some reports, the disagreement is not centred on the overall value of the midfielder’s outstanding dues. Instead, the core issue lies in the structure of the payments. Wydad have proposed restructuring Ziyech’s contract by reducing his monthly salary and introducing a signing bonus that would be paid in installments. The Morocco international has rejected this approach and is insisting on maintaining the current payment arrangements.
Club officials remain keen to keep Ziyech at the club and are actively seeking a compromise that would satisfy both parties. Talks are continuing in an effort to find common ground before the situation escalates further.
Beyond the financial discussions, additional friction has emerged in other areas. Relations between Ziyech and the medical staff have become strained, while differences have also arisen over training arrangements. The coaching staff have now made the player’s participation in tactical sessions conditional on him adhering fully to the team’s agreed routine.
The combination of contractual disagreement and internal tensions has left Ziyech’s future at Wydad uncertain. Both sides continue to engage in dialogue, but a resolution has yet to be reached. The club’s desire to retain a player of Ziyech’s quality and experience is clear, yet the midfielder’s insistence on the original payment terms has so far prevented an agreement.
Ziyech’s presence in the squad carries significant weight given his pedigree at club and international level. Any prolonged uncertainty risks affecting both his own form and the wider dressing-room dynamic as Wydad navigate their domestic and continental commitments.
For now the matter remains open. Further discussions are expected in the coming days as the administration attempts to bridge the gap and the player evaluates his position. Until a clear outcome is confirmed, Ziyech’s status at the club will continue to attract close attention from supporters and observers of Moroccan football.
