Málaga CF have secured the signing of left-back Adam Aznou on a season-long loan deal. The agreement, confirmed this Tuesday and first reported by Sport.es, does not include a purchase option for the Spanish club.
The 20-year-old arrives from Everton, who signed him last season after paying 9 million euros to Bayern Munich. Aznou has seen limited playing time with the English side and is seeking minutes in LALIGA EA Sports, where he previously played 13 matches on loan at Real Valladolid CF. His next fixture for Málaga will be the home game against Athletic Club, scheduled for November 29th, as listed on our fixtures page.
What is Adam Aznou's career path?
Adam Aznou is a defender who came through the youth academy of FC Barcelona, where he was from 2019 to 2022. He later moved to Bayern Munich, joining their youth setup between 2022 and 2024. With the German club, he gained experience in elite competitions like the Bundesliga, the UEFA Champions League, and the FIFA Club World Cup.
His potential also earned him an early debut with the Morocco national team in 2024 at the age of 18. To date, the full-back has three caps for the North African side. His move to Everton in the 25/26 season represented another step in his career, though a lack of opportunities has now led him to seek playing time at Málaga CF.
Where does he fit in the Málaga 2026 squad?
Aznou's arrival addresses Málaga's specific need to cover the left flank. Manuel García, the author of the Sport.es report, stated that "El Málaga CF ya tiene al lateral izquierdo que buscaba en el mercado". The player becomes the sixth signing of the summer, according to the same journalist.
His profile blends youth with top-tier training and some experience in the Spanish top flight. The Málaga manager will be able to call on him to compete for the starting spot and add defensive solidity. Fans can check the full team composition on our squad page.
