The 18-year-old midfielder Thiago Pitarch , who started for the first time with Real Madrid against Getafe, has chosen to wear the colors of Spain. The Moroccan Federation suffers a setback despite its efforts to convince him.
Five dual-national internationals playing in the Netherlands , including the talented Ayoub Ouarghi, have decided to wear the colors of Morocco. These familiar faces from the Dutch youth selections now prioritize the Atlas Lions for the rest of their careers.
The PSV Eindhoven prodigy, Sami Bouhoudane, has chosen to represent Morocco rather than the Netherlands. This decision demonstrates the success of the Moroccan federation in securing its young dual-national talents .
LOSC Lille midfielder Ayyoub Bouaddi has not yet chosen between the French and Moroccan national teams. Despite sending positive signals to Morocco, the prodigy is reserving his final decision for the next international break in March.
Paris Saint-Germain has made Lille’s Ayyoub Bouaddi its priority despite pressure from Chelsea and Arsenal. At the same time, the 18-year-old midfielder should choose to represent Morocco, declining the calls from the French national team.

The saga has been over for a long time, but the details are only emerging now. Rabie Takassa, a recruiter for the FRMF, confided in the newspaper L’Équipe about the Lamine Yamal case. He reveals that despite a last-ditch attempt by Walid Regragui in Barcelona, the choice of Spain was sealed long before the player’s media explosion.
How does Morocco manage to attract the cream of talents trained in Europe ? Far from being a matter of chance, the success of the Atlas Lions is based on a formidable intelligence strategy and an emotional approach, transforming the national team into a prime sporting choice for the stars of tomorrow.
The saga is over. This is another prestigious victory for Moroccan sports diplomacy. Fouzi Lekjaa, President of the Royal Moroccan Football Federation (FRMF), officially announced this Friday the choice of Ayoub Bouaddi . The LOSC prodigy will wear the Moroccan jersey, turning his back on the French team.
LOSC has imposed a strict omerta on the international future of its prodigy. While the behind-the-scenes battle rages between France and Morocco to secure the services of Ayyoub Bouaddi , the northern club has formally prohibited any questions on the subject to "protect" its player. A defensive strategy that contrasts with the stated ambition of the midfielder: to play in the next World Cup.
Morocco sees the French threat becoming more specific for Ayoub Bouaddi. Didier Deschamps has personally contacted the young prodigy to lock him in with the Blues, forcing the Moroccan Federation to play its last card: a call-up for the Africa Cup of Nations.
Lille hopes to lock up its gem Ayyoub Bouaddi until 2029, but the pressure is mounting. Arsenal and Chelsea are ready to submit an offer close to 45 million euros this winter for the Franco-Moroccan midfielder, forcing the northern club to set its financial demands higher.
