Abdellah Ouazane, the young Moroccan talent from Ajax, continues to amaze. After a brilliant performance against Atalanta, in which he scored a spectacular goal in injury time, the 17-year-old has already found the net against Sparta Rotterdam, proving that he is ready for the first team.
In 2023 Ajax announced Ouazane's farewell, and the market had already shown interest in Real Madrid, who had arranged a place for him in the supporting team Castilla. However, the youngster decided to stay on the pitch, allowing the managers to evaluate his talent in the first team. His debut was immediately memorable: in a match against Atalanta, he came off the bench and scored the 2‑0 in injury time with an individual move, dribbling past multiple opponents and finishing with a powerful shot. This was his first European goal.
Three days later, in a regular match against Sparta Rotterdam, Ouazane opened the scoring in the 22nd minute with another goal from outside, contributing to Arokodare's second goal and a 3‑0 victory. His performance was accompanied by a mature and humble attitude in front of the cameras, qualities that impressed the Ajax managers.
The club confirmed the youngster's contract until 2028, protecting him from any requests from other clubs. However, Juventus and Manchester City have already expressed interest, carefully observing his evolution. With next summer in sight, it is possible that Ajax will have to consider a possible exit, especially if the European transfer market intensifies.
In summary, Ouazane has proven to be a talented player, ready to contribute decisive goals and show professional behaviour. His future remains uncertain, but the big European teams already seem ready to follow him closely.
