Eintracht Braunschweig makes its official announcement on the closing day
In a move that may signal the end of the misunderstanding surrounding his performance at Eintracht Braunschweig, the Moroccan midfielder Walid Ould-Chikh is returning to the Netherlands on loan to Heracles Almelo.
The loan comes after a disappointing stint with the German club, where Ould-Chikh failed to meet expectations and played only nine official games. His departure from Eintracht Braunschweig, which was almost always bitter, was particularly unfortunate as the club had high hopes for him, expecting him to be a game-changer for the Lions.
Ould-Chikh's journey with Eintracht Braunschweig began in the summer of 2024, when the club transferred 350,000 euros to FC Volendam to acquire his services. However, things didn't go as planned, and he found himself dropped from the squad and playing for the U23 team last season.
Before joining Eintracht Braunschweig, Ould-Chikh shone at Roda Kerkrade on loan, which is how the German club became aware of him. He was then loaned to FC Eindhoven in 2025 after being loaned from Eintracht Braunschweig.
Heracles Almelo has an option to buy Ould-Chikh at the end of the loan period, but the amount is undisclosed. There is great disillusionment at Eintracht Braunschweig over his performance, and there may be potential for financial compensation for Ould-Chikh depending on the terms of the deal with Heracles Almelo.
The loan to Heracles Almelo presents a new opportunity for Ould-Chikh to regain his form and potentially secure a permanent move to the club. He hopes to return to his form from a few years ago and prove himself once again.
For Heracles Almelo, this is a chance to bring in a player with potential and high expectations, who they believe can make a significant impact on their team. Ould-Chikh's loan does not include a prior buyout clause, but the club is optimistic about his performance and the possibility of a permanent deal at the end of the season.
As Ould-Chikh embarks on this new chapter of his career, he will be looking to put the past behind him and make a fresh start. For Eintracht Braunschweig, the loan may be a step towards closing the book on a disappointing chapter in their history.
