The Moroccan winger will join Galatasaray for €3.587,500 for the 2023-24 season, and if the transfer is made permanent, he will be paid €2.85 million for the 2024-25 season.
There is also a conditional extension option that could see Ziyech earn €2.85 million for the 2025-2026 season.
Ziyech, 29, joined Chelsea from Ajax in 2020, making 107 appearances in all competitions.
The move to Galatasaray will give Ziyech a chance to revive his career.
He will be playing in the UEFA Champions League with the Turkish club who are the defending Super Lig champions.
Galatasaray are looking to challenge for the Turkish Super Lig title this season, and they believe that Ziyech can be a key player for them.
The arrival of Ziyech is a major statement of intent from the Turkish club who also signed Wilfried Zaha and Mauro Icardi this summer.
Ziyech was officially unveiled as a Galatasaray player yesterday after hiding in the Ultraslan stand along with ultra leader Sebo Reis during the 2-0 victory over Trabzonspor in the Super Lig.
