Real Madrid Reconsiders Ouazane Transfer After Dutch Medical Clears Moroccan Teen
Real Madrid may reignite talks to sign Moroccan teenager Abdellah Ouazane after new medical tests contradicted earlier concerns that had stalled the deal. According to Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf , a full examination carried out at Amsterdam's University Medical Centre (UMC) found no health issues and deemed the 17-year-old 'fully fit for top-level sport'. The findings challenge the initial assessment from Madrid's medical team, which raised unspecified red flags and led to the transfer being put on hold at the last minute. Ouazane, one of Morocco's standout players at the last U17 Africa Cup of Nations, was on the brink of joining the Spanish giants when the move collapsed. While Ajax, his current club, has offered him a spot in the reserves for now, the fresh diagnosis could open new opportunities. Other European clubs are reportedly monitoring the situation. If Madrid is satisfied with the Dutch report, negotiations could resume. If not, Ouazane is unlikely to be short of offers. Tags: Abdellah OuazaneAjax AmsterdamReal Madrid

Why did Real Madrid drop Moroccan prodigy Abdellah Ouazane?
Abdellah Ouazane, 17, was on the brink of becoming a Real Madrid player. The Ajax wonderkid, who dazzled at the U17 Africa Cup of Nations, had reportedly agreed terms and was set to join Los Blancos' youth ranks. But just before the official announcement, the deal was scrapped. Spanish journalist Ramón Álvarez de Mon revealed that Ouazane failed to pass his medical, citing unspecified concerns. AS confirmed in the report, stating that the medical was 'non-conclusive,' prompting Madrid to pull the plug. 🚨 BREAKING: Abdellah Ouazane to Real Madrid has COLLAPSED. He FAILED his medicals. @JorgeCPicon — Madrid Xtra (@MadridXtra) July 17, 2025 The collapse of the deal has reopened doors for other suitors. Paris Saint-Germain, long interested in the midfielder, may now pounce. So could Manchester United and Barcelona, both of whom had been tracking his progress. Ajax, sensing the opportunity, have tabled a new contract offer – his fourth. The Dutch club, where he was developed, previously held back in hopes of cashing in. Now, they're eager to retain him. The proposal would see Ouazane play for the Ajax U23 side in the Dutch second tier while training with the senior squad. Despite the Madrid hiccup, Ouazane remains one of Morocco's most exciting young talents. He scored four goals in 16 appearances last season and was voted MVP of the U17 AFCON.

Real Madrid to finalise deal for talented 16-year-old midfielder in coming days
Real Madrid have been busy in the transfer market this summer, and there are more signings being eyed by club officials. Dean Huijsen, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Franco Mastantuono have already been brought in, and another to arrive could be Abdellah Ouazane. Last month, it was reported that Real Madrid were eyeing a move for Ouazane, whose contract at Ajax has since come to an end. Barcelona were also keen on the 16-year-old midfielder, but in the end, Los Blancos were established as firm favourites to finalise a deal. Advertisement Ajax have been desperately trying to convince Ouazane to sign a new contract, but it appears that their efforts will be in vain. According to MD, Real Madrid are expected to finalise his signing as early as next week, at which point they will pay a development fee to the Eredivisie giants. Image via Sport Ouazane will start his Real Madrid career in La Fabrica Ouazane will be the latest talented young player signed by Real Madrid to bolster La Fabrica, their youth academy. Given his age, he will start in the lower categories upon his arrival at Valdebebas, although it is not yet clear whether it will be the U18s and U19s that is his starting point. Castilla could also be an option, but that may be unlikely given his age. Advertisement Ouazane, who has represented the Netherlands and Morocco at youth level on the international stage but has since declared for the African nation, could have chances to make the step up to the Real Madrid first team in the coming years. Previous head coach Carlo Ancelotti was very unwilling to look at La Fabrica unless absolutely necessary during his tenure, but things could be different with Xabi Alonso. This saga is not done yet, but it is certainly looking very likely that Ouazane will become a Real Madrid player this summer – much to the disappointment of Ajax.

Ouazane Set to Join Real Madrid After Rejecting Ajax
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. Tags: AjaxOuazaneReal Madrid

Real Madrid Target Ajax Wonderkid Abdellah Ouazane as Contract Expires
Doha – Real Madrid have set their sights on 16-year-old Ajax talent Abdellah Ouazane, who is set to become a free agent when his contract expires on June 30. The Spanish giants have been monitoring the Moroccan youngster for some time and have already initiated contact with the player's representatives. Born in Amsterdam but representing Morocco at youth level, Ouazane was named the best player at the African U-17 Cup. His performances in the tournament attracted attention from several major European clubs, with Real Madrid now pushing to secure his signature. The creative midfielder has impressed during his first year at the youth level with Ajax and has already made his debut with the Dutch club's first youth team. Despite previously playing for the Netherlands U-15 side, Ouazane appears to have chosen to represent Morocco internationally. According to reports confirmed by Marca, the youngster could join either Real Madrid's youth team or potentially their Castilla reserve side. Madrid's interest in Ouazane dates back to early last season, but club officials wanted to see how he performed in a major tournament before making their move. Ouazane is known for his versatility, capable of playing both as an attacking midfielder and in central midfield. He possesses a powerful shot and is skilled at taking free kicks. The Amsterdam native made his debut for Morocco's U-17 team in October 2024 and has already scored four goals in 13 appearances. While Madrid's senior team prepares for the upcoming Club World Cup starting June 14, with their first match against Saudi Pro League side Al-Hilal scheduled for June 18, the club's directors are working to finalize the acquisition of one of the most promising young talents they have scouted in recent months.
