Real Madrid are monitoring the progress of Ajax midfielder Abdellah Ouazane as interest in the highly rated teenager grows across Europe. According to a report published by Madrid Universal on Wednesday, October 28, 2026, the Spanish club face competition from Juventus, Chelsea and Manchester City, who are also tracking the young Moroccan’s development.
The 17-year-old has attracted increasing attention following a series of encouraging performances in the Netherlands. His recent displays have raised his profile and prompted several prominent European clubs to assess his potential and consider whether he could become a valuable addition to their squads in the future.
Reports from Bernabeu Digital indicate that Real Madrid are among the clubs closely following Ouazane. However, the Spanish giants have reportedly not contacted the player or his representatives to discuss a possible transfer. Their interest therefore remains at an early stage, with no indication that formal negotiations have begun.
Ouazane has previously been linked with Madrid, and his latest performances appear to have revived the club’s interest. His progress within Ajax’s first-team environment, particularly his growing contribution in attack, has helped attract further attention from clubs searching for emerging talent.
The midfielder has scored three goals this season, including two in Ajax’s last three matches. That recent scoring form has strengthened his reputation as a promising prospect and provided another reason for major European sides to keep him under observation. Continued opportunities at senior level could further demonstrate his ability to perform consistently and accelerate his development.
Madrid’s reported interest also reflects the club’s established approach of identifying talented young players before they become established stars. By monitoring prospects early, the Spanish side can assess their development and determine whether they fit into its long-term sporting plans. Ouazane’s age and recent performances could make him an attractive option for the future, although there is no evidence that Madrid have moved beyond monitoring his situation.
Juventus, Chelsea and Manchester City are also reportedly following the teenager, creating the possibility of increased competition if one or more clubs decide to pursue him. However, it remains uncertain whether any of the interested teams are preparing an official approach or intend to make a transfer offer in the near future.
Ajax are understood to be comfortable with the current situation because Ouazane’s contract runs until 2028. With two years remaining on his agreement, the Dutch club retain a strong position in determining his future. Any club seeking to sign him would likely need to negotiate with Ajax rather than rely on the player’s contract expiring soon.
Ouazane’s performances over the coming months could play an important role in shaping the next stage of his career. If he continues to earn first-team opportunities and maintain his recent scoring form, interest from Europe’s leading clubs may intensify.
For now, Ajax have reportedly given no indication that they are willing to sell the young midfielder. Real Madrid and their competitors are therefore expected to continue assessing his progress before deciding whether to take concrete steps towards a potential transfer.
