At just 16, Abdellah Ouazane, a highly promising Moroccan midfielder trained at Ajax Amsterdam, is emerging as one of the hottest properties on the European market. Renowned for his technical prowess, vision, and standout performances with Ajax’s U17s and as U17 Africa Cup of Nations MVP with Morocco, he’s attracted attention from giants like Real Madrid, FC Barcelona, and Paris Saint-Germain.
Real Madrid Move Collapses After Failed Medical
This summer, it looked almost certain Ouazane was off to Real Madrid. With negotiations far advanced, he traveled to Madrid and underwent a medical. In a dramatic twist, the move broke down after he reportedly failed the medical, with specific details undisclosed. Disappointed but mature, Ouazane has remained focused on his career, sharing his determination on social media.
Future Wide Open as Top Clubs Circle
Returning to the Netherlands, Ajax offered him a professional contract, wishing to keep their homegrown star. However, Ouazane is reportedly no longer formally tied to the club, making him a free agent and sparking a transfer scramble among Europe’s elite. PSG, already keen, is now rumored to be preparing a bid, with interest from Manchester City and AC Milan also in the mix.
One of the Brightest Talents of His Generation
Voted best player at the U17 Africa Cup of Nations, equipped to play both as a holding midfielder and a playmaker, Ouazane draws comparisons to the likes of Jude Bellingham and Zinedine Zidane for his versatility and football IQ. Now free on the market, he is one of the most sought-after young players in Europe. The next chapter of his promising career is about to begin.
