Ouazane Set to Join Real Madrid After Rejecting Ajax

The Atlas Cub is poised to leave Ajax for the Spanish giants, with his contract expiring at the end of June

Abdellah Ouazane is reportedly on the brink of a move to Real Madrid after he rejected multiple contract offers from Ajax, with his current deal set to expire on June 30.

The highly-rated 16-year-old midfielder is widely regarded as one of Ajax’s greatest talents and has reportedly turned down up to three offers, including a final attempt to tie him down to a professional contract.

AS sources indicate that the situation now looks grim for the Amsterdam club, as hopes of keeping him are fading fast. The deal to bring Ouazane to Madrid is described as “virtually a done deal”.

Ajax’s failure to secure Ouazane’s signature earlier this year has left the club scrambling. The midfielder did not sign a professional contract despite turning 16 in January. This delay now appears to have cost Ajax their star player, with Madrid set to sign him on a free transfer.

Ouazane’s versatility and impressive performances at the youth level have made him one of the most exciting and coveted young talents in European football. He was named MVP of the U17 Africa Cup of Nations, where he dazzled as a central midfielder, attacking midfielder, and playmaker. His dribbling skills, powerful right foot, and football intelligence have drawn comparisons to Jude Bellingham.

At 1.83 meters tall, Ouazane combines physicality with technical brilliance, making him a perfect fit for Madrid’s ambitious youth project. If confirmed, the move will add another promising player to the club’s growing list of young stars alongside Endrick, Arda Guler, Joan Martínez and Jacobo Ramón.
