Real Madrid is about to have 16 -year -old midfielder Abdellah Ouazane, a football prodigy with talent and style of play like the legendary Zinedine Zidane.
Nearly a month ago, Real Madrid reached an agreement to recruit midfielder Abdellah Ouazane from Ajax Club in the form of free transfer. Accordingly, the Madrid Capital team will officially sign this 16 -year -old player in the next few days. The incident caused European football shock. Because Ouazane is highly appreciated for his talent and is praised as “new Zidane”.
Abdellah Ouazane emerged as a kite in Ajax's youth shirt in the 2024/25 season. He has a speed, skillful personal technique, with the ball handling through the dexterous person who reminds the image of the golden age of French football legend Zinedine Zidane. The passing skill of this 16 -year -old boy also makes experts many times wide eyes.
But above all, Abdellah Ouazane is praised for the intelligence in competition. He has the ability to observe and judge the situation well. He is sensitive to “sniffing” the gaps (though very narrow) to launch great assists, creating opportunities for teammates to finish. And Ouazane also loves to close to the opponent's goal area to bloom to bombard the goal.
Although only 16 years old, but the confidence and bravery have created Abdellah Ouazane a very mature play style, not afraid of force. Initially, when watching this midfielder play, people compared him to Jude Bellingham. However, later, Ouazane showed more he was more proud and artist of Zinedine Zidane. That is also the reason for Real Madrid to “rob” this football prodigy from the hands of Ajax Club.
Ouazane was born in Amsterdam (Netherlands), but his parents were Morocco immigrant. This young talent started playing for the local team AVV Zeeburgia – a famous club in the field of hunting and discovering young talents in the country of Tuy -Mip, which is the launch pad for Liverpool midfielder Ryan Gravenberch now. After being discovered by Ajax's young football hunting experts, Ouazane was immediately taken by the traditional Netherlands team to their youth training furnace in 2016 – the time when Ouazane was only 7 years old.
Ouazane has continuously “jumped” at the youth team levels by extraordinary talents. And in the football season 2024/25, he became a key member of Ajax's B team. Unfortunately for Dutch football, when Ouazane decided to choose Morocco's flag to protect the color of Morocco instead of choosing orange shirt. Not long ago, the midfielder shone at the U17 African tournament with the style of playing football that a commentator had to say: “Like Zinedine Zidane without any slip.”
The outstanding in the U17 African tournament has turned Ouazane into a phenomenon. Both Europe rushed into the race to win the signature of this football prodigy. In the end, Real Madrid was the winner. Ouazane immediately nodded in agreement to join the Madrid capital, when the negotiator made a commitment that Real Madrid would turn him into the second Zinedine Zidane of the world football.
Of course, after signing a contract with Real Madrid, Abdellah Ouazane will not immediately be added to the first team under coach Xabi Alonso. Because he was too young, he will be registered by the Spanish Royal team to the Real Castilla youth team to gain experience. If Ouazane is developed in the right direction, “Zinedine Zidane” is completely capable of regenerating at the Bernabeu in the next few years.
