There's a surprise and Ouazane isn't coming alone: Madrid secure another signing at Ajax

Abdellah Ouazane might seem like just another name that pops up every summer in the transfer market, but the reality is different. Behind the young Moroccan footballer lies a new strategy adopted by several major clubs. The goal is to take advantage of the emerging talent offered by certain market opportunities, both in professional soccer and in their youth divisions.

Several sporting directors traveled to Amsterdam intending to convince Abdellah Ouazane. However, after considering the different proposals and holding multiple meetings, the Moroccan has chosen to sign for Real Madrid. At 16 years old, the player will take one of the most important steps of his career.

A different footballer who will develop at La Fábrica

Those who have had the opportunity to see Ouazane in action agree that he is a footballer with a promising future. He has class, dribbling skills, a powerful shot, and a remarkable goal-scoring instinct. During the last season, he has competed in two higher categories, establishing himself as the standout player for Ajax's Juvenil A team.

FC Barcelona was also in the race for the young Moroccan, but it was the white club that acted more quickly and efficiently. Even so, the deal can't be considered completely closed until July 1. Although his contract expires in a few days, Ajax is still doing everything possible to prevent his departure.

What is behind Ouazane's signing for Real Madrid?

"Abdellah Ouazane will join Real Madrid from Ajax with an initial three-year contract, the maximum allowed for his age. He'll be a starter for the youth team (under 19). His brother Zakaria is also expected to join Real Madrid, where he'll play for Real Madrid's C team", said journalist Mario Cortegana on his YouTube channel.

This is an unexpected deal that has taken many by surprise. If it is finally confirmed, Real Madrid would be adding a striker to their academy, although it remains to be seen what his real performance will be. What does seem clear is that he doesn't have the same level of talent as his brother.

In this case, Zakaria would arrive as part of the signing of Abdellah Ouazane, the true target for Real Madrid looking to the future.
