Real Madrid is starting a new era under Xabi Alonso's leadership. The former footballer, now coach, is looking to bring a fresh and ambitious style. His arrival means much more than just a change on the bench.
He brings a vision for the future, based on betting on young talent and building a solid project. This new cycle comes with a clear intention to strengthen the squad. The white club doesn't want to leave anything to chance.
That's why, while the foundations are being established, they're also closely watching the market to attract the best prospects in world soccer.
Unexpected signings that set the path
In the Concha Espina offices, they acted discreetly; nobody expected Dean Huijsen's signing when Madrid announced it on May 17. Shortly after, the club confirmed Trent Alexander-Arnold's arrival. These two additions reflect the strategy: young talent with great potential and established players who bring quality.
But they don't stop there. Real Madrid doesn't lose sight of their goal: building a championship team in the short and long term. That's why they're still scouring the market and analyzing possible moves that could strengthen the squad.
The Ajax gem who has captivated Chamartín
In this context, Abdellah Ouazane appears, a young Ajax prospect. He's only 16 years old and has a profile that's highly regarded in Madrid. According to journalist Rodra P, the white club has already contacted his camp and Ajax itself to explore the possibility.
Ouazane is an attacking midfielder or central midfielder, creative and with goal-scoring ability. That's why he's considered "the Ajax pearl." His versatility and technical quality fit with the white philosophy of betting on footballers who can dominate the game and make a difference in attack.
A signing with a vision for the future
Ajax, despite not being at their best, keeps developing great talents. John Heitinga's arrival as coach points to a period of transition. PSV dominates the Dutch league, but Ajax's academy keeps its prestige.
For Real Madrid, signing Ouazane would be an investment for the future. It not only strengthens the squad with talent, but also bets on young players who'll grow and become leaders.
Florentino Pérez is responding to Lamine Yamal's emergence, one of Madrid's great gems, with another pearl who could shine in the European soccer firmament. It's a show of authority to prove that the white project is always looking forward.
