Real Madrid optimistic about signing 16-year-old Ajax prodigy as contacts made | OneFootball

While Real Madrid have been busy making some headline signings this summer, they continue to keep an eye out on up-and-coming young talent for the future.

One such player who seems to have caught the attention of the Spanish capital club is Ajax youngster Abdellah Ouazane.

Real Madrid keen on Ouazane

Indeed, according to journalist Rodra, Real Madrid are very interested in signing Abdellah Ouazane, regarded as one of the brightest young prospects at the Ajax youth setup.

Aged 16, the attacking midfield talent has made 15 appearances for the Dutch giants’ Under-17 team, scoring three goals and setting up one more.

In fact, Ouazane has already broken into Ajax’s Under-19 team this season, racking up three goals in just four matches.

An Under-17 international for Morocco, the midfielder has four goals in 13 matches for the African nation.

Real Madrid have taken note of the talent and potential that Ouazane possesses and have already made contacts to explore the possibility of signing him.

In fact, the update from Rodra states that there is a lot of optimism at Real Madrid that the operation can be completed and Ouazane can be signed from Ajax.

Real Madrid enjoyed an exceptional season at the academy level this season, with as many as 13 youth teams going on to win their respective league titles – a club record.

Given the focus on developing and nurturing young talent at the club, adding a player like Ouazane, with an eye on a future first-team breakthrough, makes perfect sense.
