Neither Stiller nor Mastantuono: the 16-year-old midfielder Florentino is already wanted at Madrid

Real Madrid is keeping an eye on one of the greatest talents to strengthen its midfield

Real Madrid continues to monitor the market discreetly, maintaining a silent strategy regarding future moves. After surprising with the addition of Dean Huijsen and having completed the signing of Arnold, the club continues to plan for the long term. In this regard, one of the new names on the table is Abdellah Ouazane, a young talent from Ajax's youth academy.

As journalist Rodra has reported, Ouazane's profile fits perfectly with what Real Madrid is looking for. The young footballer, who is Dutch by nationality and of Moroccan descent, plays as a central midfielder or attacking midfielder and is only 16 years old. The interest from the Madrid club is strong, so much so that contacts have already been made with his entourage and with Ajax itself.

Real Madrid sets sights on Ajax's new gem

Ouazane is a creative midfielder with a knack for scoring goals, and he is considered one of Ajax's greatest prospects. Although the first team of the Dutch club is going through a difficult period, the club continues to bet on its prolific youth academy.

Recently, Ajax announced the appointment of John Heitinga as the new coach, a decision that appears to be temporary. It is worth remembering that the last league title Ajax won was in 2022. 

Abdellah Ouazane is also on the radar of Barcelona and PSG, which could give him several options when deciding his future. Real Madrid would be willing to compete for his signing, fully aware of the player's potential. Ouazane holds dual nationality, Moroccan and Dutch, and he has already represented both countries at youth levels, which adds appeal to his profile as a young prospect with international projection.

Real Madrid's goal is to keep accumulating young, high-quality talent with an eye on the future, thus ensuring generational replacement. This strategy, already successfully used in cases such as Valverde, Vinícius, or Rodrygo, remains one of the club's main guidelines.

Of course, Florentino Pérez's policy for the future is quite clear. The club seeks to bring in the best players from a young age in order to build a solid and competitive foundation for the long term.
