Real Madrid will reportedly look to sign 16-year-old Amsterdam-born midfield sensation Abdellah Ouazane from Ajax in the summer transfer window.

According to an update by Spanish journalist Rodra, Abdellah Ouazane is the subject of interest from Real Madrid. The Merengues constantly scour the market for highly-rated prospects heading into a transfer window. So, the 16-year-old Ajax midfield sensation has emerged as a target for Los Blancos.

Who is Abdellah Ouazane?

Abdellah Ouazane is the latest highly-rated prospect to rise in prominence at Ajax. The Dutch giants have a rich history of producing world-class prospects, with Jorrel Hato’s recent rise in prominence continuing the tradition. Ouazane is in that mould, and he has the potential to become a top-notch midfielder.

A native of Amsterdam, the teenage sensation has chosen Morocco as his national side in age-group football and currently turns out for the African nation’s under-17 side. The 16-year-old began his youth career with Zeeburgia before joining Ajax in 2016, and he has come leaps and bounds in the past decade.

The 16-year-old has turned out 15 times for Ajax’s under-17 side and four times for the under-19 team, scoring three goals for each outfit. Meanwhile, Ouazane’s progress has not gone unnoticed, capturing the attention of several well-known clubs across Europe. Real Madrid will be among the prospective suitors vying for his signature heading into the summer transfer window.

Spanish journey set to begin?

Real Madrid’s interest in Abdellah Ouazane is understandable. The Spanish giants are renowned for constantly scouring the market for highly-rated prospects, with Florentino Perez focusing on a youth-driven approach. So, the Merengues have signed young prospects who have become pivotal figures for the first team.

Ouazane has thus emerged as a viable target for Real Madrid, with Los Blancos establishing contact over a possible move in the summer transfer window. The Spanish giants are increasingly confident about landing the Dutch-born midfielder in the summer transfer window.

While it is unclear if other clubs will join the race for Ouazane’s signature, Real Madrid’s growing optimism suggests a move may be on the cards. So, it will be interesting to see if the 16-year-old Moroccan youth international moves to Spain in the summer transfer window.
