Málaga move fast on loan for Everton left-back Adam Aznou

Málaga are well advanced in a deal to secure Adam Aznou on loan: a 20-year-old left-back who would join La Rosaleda from Everton. According to MARCA, the move is in an advanced stage and fits the club’s plan to reinforce the left flank before the transfer window closes.

Loan talks near deadline

As MARCA reports, the club has been working on the operation for around two weeks. The expectation is that—barring a late twist—Aznou will become the answer for a role left up for debate after the departure of Dani Sánchez, a position Málaga had earmarked as a priority.

The progress also ties back to earlier reporting: Nico Linner (BILD) had already previewed the situation, and Radio MARCA Málaga has been able to confirm it. The player reportedly had other offers from Germany, but his main goal was to return to Spain, with Málaga’s project persuading him.

Experience across Spain

Aznou brings a career strongly linked to Spanish football. He came up through the youth ranks of FC Barcelona, then moved to the Bayern Munich setup, where he later appeared four times for the first team. In the second half of 2024/25, he gained his first professional experience in Spain on loan at Valladolid, making 13 appearances—even though the side were relegated.

Last summer, Everton bought him for roughly nine million euros. His first season in England didn’t go as hoped, leading him to look for an exit to regain regular minutes—a scenario now aligning with Málaga’s needs on the left, as MARCA explains.
