Adam Aznou

Unlike the previous two players, Adam Aznou came to Bayern Munich from La Masia when he was only 18. Aznou made his debut for Bayern in November 2024 in the club's 3-0 victory against Union Berlin.

The young defender was later given the chance in the UEFA Champions League and the Club World Cup under Vincent Kompany.

However, a dispute over playing time cut his tenure at Bayern short. Die Roten decided to cash in on him with a €9 million move to Everton. So far, he has not impressed at his new club,
and has barely played.

It is not an exaggeration to say that Ismael Saibari is Bayern Munich's biggest signing from Morocco, not only for the price tag but also for the calibre of talent he possesses. Let's hope that he can avoid the injury history that has bothered his predecessors and have a long, successful career in Munich.
