Othmane Maamma, 20-year-old Moroccan winger’s breakout year has put him firmly on Real Madrid’s radar.
He stole the spotlight at the 2025 FIFA U20 World Cup, leading his country to a historic title in Chile and winning the Golden Ball as the tournament’s best player.
Maamma’s sharp dribbling, blistering pace, and attacking confidence have drawn comparisons to Madrid’s young stars Vinícius Júnior and Rodrygo.
Reports from Spain’s Defensa Central say the Spanish giants are closely monitoring his progress following his summer move to Watford from Montpellier.
At 1.82 meters, Othmane Maamma blends skill with strength, impressing with his ability to take on defenders and create chances from the right wing.
His standout moments, like a stunning scissor-kick goal against Brazil have cemented his reputation as one of Africa’s brightest young talents.
While Real Madrid hasn’t made a formal approach yet, Maamma’s development in English football could determine how soon the Spanish giants make their move.
For now, the buzz around his name is growing fast and Europe is paying attention.
