According to a recent update from Mario Cortegana, it has come to light that Real Madrid are working on a move to sign 16-year-old Ajax sensation Abdellah Ouazane and are so impressed by his potential that they plan to place him directly into the U19 setup, skipping the U17 level entirely.
Ouazane, one of the brightest prospects in the famed Ajax academy, has already made his mark in the Dutch club’s U19 side this season.
Despite his young age, the forward has notched three goals in just four appearances, a feat that has caught the attention of scouts and analysts across Europe, including those at Valdebebas.
Real Madrid are heavily impressed
Although the move is not complete yet, reports suggest that there is strong optimism within the Real Madrid camp that a deal can be reached.
Interestingly, it has also been learned that Ouazane’s contract with Ajax runs down in June and Real Madrid intend to sign him on a free transfer.
While it was initially unclear whether Ouazane would join Juvenil A (U19) or Castilla (Real Madrid B), Cortegana now affirms that the player would be slotted directly into the U19s, highlighting the high regard in which he is held by the club.
Real Madrid have already established contact with the Ajax hierarchy and are exploring how best to structure a deal that would bring Ouazane to Spain. As a result, there is enough confidence in Madrid that the transfer will go through.
For now, what is certain is that there has been contact between the parties involved. For someone who was named best player at the African Under-17 Cup and has also played for the Netherlands Under-15 team, Real Madrid’s interest is legit and a deal could be finalised soon.
