The latest news coming from Valdebebas has surprised even the most veteran figures there. Nobody expected everything to fall apart so suddenly. The signing was finalized, but a setback has completely halted the operation.
Florentino Pérez had planned to announce the addition of a young prospect. Everything was ready to make the agreement official, even with a schedule for the presentation. But the plans have taken a U-turn within hours.
A morning of celebration was expected at the Chamartín offices. However, what seemed like a simple formality has ended in a major problem. Now, everything is hanging in the air.
Florentino has frozen a move that excited because of its potential
Meanwhile, Real Madrid is still working on several fronts in the transfer market. Talks for a new creative midfielder are more active than ever. In addition, the arrival of a central defender is being seriously considered.
Xabi Alonso has made his roadmap clear in meetings with management. He needs more resources to complete his style and compete at the highest level. Florentino wants to meet his requests without jeopardizing the club's financial future.
That's why different operations are being considered to strengthen key areas of the field. Among them, one very particular signing stood out, with the potential to become an international star. Everything indicated it would be a strategic medium-term move.
Real Madrid had managed to get ahead of other European giants
That agreement revolved around a prospect who has shined in Ajax's youth academy. His name, unknown to many, was already making waves in important offices. A skillful, young attacking midfielder with plenty of room to grow.
Abdellah Ouazane, just 16 years old, had everything finalized with the club's sporting management. He had already decided not to renew his current contract in the Netherlands. Everything pointed to him joining Castilla in the coming weeks.
However, the medical examination revealed something unexpected. According to Ramón Álvarez de Mon, that was the reason for the cancellation. Real Madrid halted the signing at the last moment.
Abdellah Ouazane misses out on Real Madrid
The exact details have not been disclosed out of respect for the young footballer's environment. It has not been released whether it is a chronic injury or something temporary. The only clear thing is that the signing has been canceled.
Madrid, very demanding in medical matters, has preferred not to take risks, because, although the technical abilities convinced everyone, health always comes first. Florentino gave the final order after receiving the complete medical report. Real Madrid will not sign Abdellah Ouazane and has made it clear without hesitation.
