At only 19, young Moroccan full-back Adam Aznou is set to make a significant step by joining Everton in the English Premier League. After struggling to break into Bayern Munich’s first team, this transfer offers the promising talent a fresh start at a competitive level in Europe.
Regarded as one of Bayern Munich’s bright prospects, Adam Aznou will reportedly sign with Everton for a fee of €9 million plus €3 million in bonuses. Despite his high potential, the young defender has seen limited playing time under coach Vincent Kompany and made only 13 appearances during a loan spell at Real Valladolid. Recognizing the need for more on-field experience, he recently requested a transfer to pursue more regular football.
Everton, managed by David Moyes, views Aznou as an important addition to bolster its defensive options, especially at left-back where depth is limited. Known for his versatility and ability to play on both flanks, Aznou is expected to undergo a medical soon before finalizing the move.
Bayern has secured a matching rights clause, allowing them an option to counter future offers, signaling their belief in Aznou’s future potential. For the young Moroccan international, this move to the Premier League represents a crucial opportunity to establish himself both at club and international levels and live up to his Lion of the Atlas nickname.
