Hakim Ziyech can now be considered a permanent member of the Galatasaray squad, with [Chelsea](https://technosports.co.in/chelsea-pay-emotional-tribute-to-angry-rantman/) sending a letter to the Turkish club to trigger the purchase option in his loan deal.

The Moroccan made the move at the start of the season, with the move including a “free purchase option” according to Galatasaray. However, there are some bonuses involved which should allow the Premier League club to earn some income through the transfer. Ziyech’s wages have now lowered to €2.85 million from €3.6 million.
