Adam Aznou joins Málaga on loan

Moroccan international Adam Aznou has officially joined Spanish club Málaga on loan from Everton for one season, in a move aimed at giving him a greater opportunity to participate and gain experience in Spanish competitions.

The loan of Moroccan player Adam Aznou to Málaga aims to help him secure regular playing minutes, having struggled with limited participation at Everton. The English club hopes to provide the right conditions for him to develop his skills and gain more experience and competitiveness.

According to reports from Marca, the agreement between the two parties includes a one-season loan during the 2026-2027 season, without any option or clause allowing Málaga to purchase the player's contract permanently at the end of the loan period.

In this context, reports indicate that there is an exceptional clause in the agreement, obliging Málaga to include Adam Aznou as a starter in the team's matches, with the possibility of imposing a financial penalty on the Spanish club if the player remains on the bench without a valid technical or medical justification.

This clause comes as part of Everton's desire to ensure Adam Aznou, who is 20 years old, benefits from his loan experience in the best possible way and gets regular playing time in LaLiga, after his appearances significantly declined last season under manager David Moyes, managing to play only two matches in the English domestic cups, according to ToffeeWeb.

Aznou is tied to a long-term contract with Everton until the summer of 2029, having joined the English club from Bayern Münich in 2025 for a fee of around 9 million euros.
