# Liverpool target Ziyech agrees Roma deal

Liverpool appear to have missed out on the signing of Hakim Ziyech, who is set to join Roma.

As per a report from [Calcio Mercato](https://www.calciomercato.com/en/news/ajax-boss-confirms-roma-will-sign-hakim-ziyech-61065), Ajax manager Eric Ten Hag, who was speaking to Voetball International, confirmed the player will be joining the Serie A side.

The Morrocan international has been heavily linked with moves to both Roma and Liverpool after a standout season in the Eredivisie.

The player will sign a five-year deal in Rome and the deal is set to cost somewhere in the region of €30-€35 million.

He has been widely expected to move on from the Eredivisie this summer after impressing last season, in a campaign that saw him notch as many as 15 assists.

Ziyech had been [identified](https://readliverpoolfc.com/2018/06/26/liverpool-given-boost-in-their-pursuit-of-hakim-ziyech/) as a possible alternative to Nabil Fekir, who continues to be linked with a summer move to Anfield.

The French midfielder is a key target for Jurgen Klopp, but a move has been complicated by a deal falling through at the last minute.
