The midfielder was widely expected to depart Ajax this summer after an excellent campaign last season. However, Ziyech made it clear he would only leave for a major club.
Sevilla made him an offer a few weeks ago, but Ziyech turned down the move to Spain and has now signed a one-year extension on his contract with Ajax, binding him to the club until 2022.
Ziyech becomes the latest Ajax start to commit to the club after Andre Onana, Nicolás Tagliafico, Noussair Mazraoui, Dusan Tadic and David Neres.
Ajax signed Ziyech from FC Twente back in 2016. He has since made 133 appearances for the club, scoring 42 goals and adding 62 assists.

Still surprised no one came in for Ziyech. Tbh surprised he hasn’t moved over past couple years. Been putting up double doubles for 4 years.
And for around £25m is a snip in this mkt. Funny supposedly Arsenal turned him down & Overmars is right he is better then Ozil right now. He is fast creates scores & tracks back. In UCL he was only player to have over 20 dribbles, 20 chances created & 20 tackles only player close was Mane w 15 for each.
Liverpool or Spurs I think he would of fit their style well & then the first could of sold Shaqiri who isn’t as versatile. Or Bundesliga which he liked BVB summer before but they grabbed up Brandt & Thorgan so quick. But he would of been great at Bayern as RWer & James replacement they need a creator. Getting Presic instead now Ugh…
But good for AJAX. Alvarez still needs time but I see him at DM being his best position
