In a significant move reflecting his rising profile in European football, young Moroccan player Abdullah Wazan has signed his first professional contract with Dutch club Ajax Amsterdam, extending until the summer of 2028. This signing marks the culmination of an intriguing journey, especially following his stalled negotiations with Spanish club Real Madrid in recent weeks.
According to Dutch and Spanish media reports, Ajax entered a fierce competition with several European clubs to secure the Moroccan midfielder’s talent, ultimately winning the deal due to their strong commitment and clear sporting project. Ajax officials considered Wazan a valuable investment for the future, given his high technical skills and tactical maturity despite his young age.
Wazan is set to join Ajax’s Under-23 team initially, which is regarded as a key reservoir for the first team and has produced several internationally renowned players. The young Moroccan international hopes to quickly establish his place within the Dutch system, known for nurturing stars and honing talent.
Wazan’s transfer to Ajax represents a true professional beginning in the player’s career and underscores the growing confidence in Moroccan players’ abilities among top European clubs, at a time when Moroccan football is experiencing a clear resurgence in terms of development and individual brilliance abroad.
