Christoph Freund, the sporting director of Bayern Munich, confirmed that the transfer of Moroccan international Adam Aznou to English club Everton during the current summer transfer window came after a 'long and complicated process.'

Freund explained that the Bavarian club was planning for the player's future after his six-month loan period with Spanish club Valladolid, but Aznou's desire to leave settled the matter.

He stated: 'We know that Adam is a great talent, but in the end, he left. The player did not commit to our plans and was determined to leave, so we concluded that the decision was best for everyone, including himself.'

The sporting director of Bayern pointed out that passion and energy are essential elements in the development of young players, emphasizing that Aznou did not receive enough opportunities with the first team, which contributed to opening the door for his transfer.

It is worth noting that Everton announced the signing of Aznou on a contract that extends until the summer of 2029, knowing that the player has participated in 3 matches with the Moroccan national team so far.
