Time and life take many turns, so the fate of many footballers is truly uncontrollable, something that can be confirmed by what happened with Abdellah Ouazane.

A long time ago, Real Madrid abandoned the Galácticos strategy to sign the stars of tomorrow.

In this goal, Florentino Pérez has his great "weapon," Juni Calafat, who's once again made a big move.

The Brazilian has been responsible for the signings of Vinicius, Endrick, Rodrygo, Bellingham, Valverde, Lunin, Camavinga, or Tchouaméni, among others, but these won't be the only ones.

Blow to Barcelona

In recent days, Real Madrid have secured the signing of Abdellah Ouazane, a great prospect from Ajax of Amsterdam.

This isn't just another move, since this young talent was being watched by all the top clubs in the Old Continent.

One of those who was following Abdellah Ouazane was Barcelona, but the Culers have been left wanting. Juni Calafat is largely responsible for this.

"Barcelona were also in the race for the Moroccan, but the white club moved better and faster, although the deal can't be considered fully closed until July 1. His contract ends in a few days, but Ajax are trying everything possible to keep him from leaving the Dutch club," said José Félix Díaz, journalist from MARCA.

Real Madrid's quick move left the blaugranas out of the race, and they were left empty-handed.

This, as expected, is being widely discussed, since it has surprised more than one, especially because Los Merengues were working on the signing of Franco Mastantuono.

The good news for Real Madrid is that they've secured the million-dollar gem, but also the young prospect from the Dutch club.

This way, Los Merengues secure two of the most promising young footballers in world soccer, although they'll have different starts with the Merengue team.

The plan is for Abdellah Ouazane to be part of La Fábrica, while Franco Mastantuono will join Xabi Alonso's squad in August.
