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.

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

According to reports confirmed by Marca, the youngster could join either Real Madrid's youth team or potentially their Castilla reserve side.

The Amsterdam native made his debut for Morocco's U-17 team in October 2024 and has already scored four goals in 13 appearances.
