Youssef Lakhadim may be on his way out of Real Madrid this summer, with Alavés pushing to sign the Moroccan left-back seen as one of La Fábrica’s brightest prospects.
Still only 19, Lakhadim has split his time this season between the U19s and Castilla. But with Ferland Mendy, Gerard García, and a likely new signing from Benfica all ahead of him, chances at Madrid’s first team are slim.
Alavés, sensing an opportunity, want him to step in should Manu Sánchez leave. Bosses at the Basque club like his profile – quick, tidy on the ball, and tactically sound.

Madrid and Alavés have a good history of dealing, and a move wouldn’t come as a surprise. It could mirror Antonio Blanco’s transfer, which saw Madrid keep a stake in the player’s future.
Lakhadim has already trained with Carlo Ancelotti’s squad and received matchday call-ups, but is yet to feature in a competitive game. A move to Alavés could offer the regular minutes he needs – and a proper launchpad for his professional career.
