Everton Signs Moroccan Defender Adam Aznou from Bayern Munich Until 2029

Everton FC has officially signed 19-year-old Moroccan left-back Adam Aznou from Bayern Munich on a four-year contract until 2029, with a reported transfer fee around €9-11 million. Aznou, a product of Barcelona's La Masia academy and Bayern's youth system, spent part of the 2024-25 season on loan at Real Valladolid, gaining valuable playing experience despite the team's struggles. The young defender, known for his dribbling skills and potential, was unable to secure consistent playing time under Bayern manager Vincent Kompany, prompting his move to Everton where he aims to establish himself in the Premier League. Aznou expressed excitement about joining Everton, praising the club's project, stadium, and fan support, and cited manager David Moyes's confidence in him as a key factor in his decision. Everton sees Aznou as a crucial addition to strengthen their left flank as part of the squad rebuild ahead of the new season, with Aznou also looking forward to boosting his standing with Morocco's national team ahead of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations. The club is currently preparing for the upcoming season with the Premier League Summer Series in the United States.
