CHELSEA fans were left stunned by Hakim Ziyech’s baffling move to Galatasaray.
Ziyech struggled to stand out at Stamford Bridge after joining from Ajax in 2020 as he only mustered 14 goals and 13 assists in 107 appearances.
However, the winger has moved on as he joined the Turkish champions on loan.
But the terms of that deal have left the Blues’ faithful absolutely bewildered.
Fans were stunned to read reports from the Evening Standard that the Morocco international would leave on a free loan deal with a free buy option.
Though later further reports suggested that the buy clause is mandatory and Galatasaray could pay some performance-based fees.

And most of the 30-year-old’s wages are off the West Londoners’ books.
But Chelsea fans were still left absolutely confused by that arrangement for a player the club signed for £37million three years ago.
One fan tweeted: “I have never heard of a free loan with option of a free purchase ever. Ziyech should be embarrassed.”
Another commented: “He’s a better player than that, some poor management there.”
