Rising Star Rayane Bounida Attracts Interest from Barcelona and Real Madrid

Rayane Bounida is experiencing a breakthrough season at Ajax, having accumulated significant playing time before a recent delay that caused him to miss the Champions League match against Qarabag. His impressive performances have caught the attention of top European clubs, notably FC Barcelona and Real Madrid.

According to the prominent Spanish newspaper AS, both clubs are vying for Bounida’s signature in the upcoming summer transfer window. The report states, “The Ajax midfielder, born in Belgium 19 years ago, has quickly become one of the most sought-after players among European scouts. His talent has placed him under the radar of both Barcelona and Real Madrid as they prepare for the summer transfer market.”

The interest from these giants is described as “strong, calculated, and strategic.” However, AS notes that neither Barcelona nor Real Madrid has yet made an official bid to Ajax. The situation is being closely monitored, particularly regarding contract negotiations with the player. Bounida, who is a right-footed player, also has the versatility to operate effectively as a winger or attacking midfielder on the left side. His dribbling skills, feints, and ball control are considered his standout attributes.
