Adam Aznou: The former 'Jewel' of the Masia who has entered the orbit of possible Barça signings

The FC Barcelona is currently monitoring various market opportunities to reinforce different areas of the field. One of these areas, undoubtedly, is the defensive sector, where, although the blue and crimson team seems to have several options in the squad to strengthen the central part of the defense, there appear to be fewer alternatives on the flanks to add depth to that position.

Recently, there has been information suggesting that the Barcelona team is closely following one of the young full-backs, who is projected as one of the biggest promises in the European context and who could fit into the 'low-cost' signing profile. As reported by 'SPORT', Barcelona is closely monitoring Adam Aznou, a Spanish-Moroccan 18-year-old full-back.

The conditions that 'support' the signing of Adam Aznou

The candidacy of Aznou, with a market value of 3 million euros (according to 'Transfermarkt'), seems to be based on several important points. For example, Adam already has experience wearing the FC Barcelona shirt, as he went through La Masia, where he arrived in 2019 from Damm and left in 2022, shaped as a 'gem' and with the intention of exploring new horizons; therefore, he knows the Barça philosophy.

In addition, in his short professional career, he has demonstrated enough versatility to play on both sides, as although he is a natural left-back (and can also play as a winger on that side), he can also perform as a right-back. This adaptability is highly valued by the Barcelona sports management, as it could provide an option to reinforce both flanks with a single investment.

On the other hand, his situation at Bayern Munich, the club with which he has a contract until June 30, 2027, could lead Adam Aznou to consider a change of scenery positively. His chances of securing a place in the Bavarian team have become significantly more complicated, especially now that 'Die Roten' has renewed Alphonso Davies until 2030, and with Raphaël Guerreiro as an alternative in that position, it would not be surprising if his playing opportunities are greatly reduced.

FC Barcelona will have the option to monitor him more closely

It will be interesting to see how FC Barcelona's interest in Adam Aznou evolves, especially now that they can monitor him more closely, as the Bavarian team has taken advantage of the recently concluded winter market to loan him to Real Valladolid. These six months could be key to determining whether Barça will try to sign him in the next summer window.
