Real Madrid have added 19-year-old Moroccan forward Ryan Zeniby Talbi to their youth project, with reports from Moroccan sources saying the move to Castilla is now complete.
From Barcelona to Madrid
Zeniby Talbi was born in Barcelona on 18 March 2007 and is a Morocco international at under-20 level. He began at AE Prat before joining Granada in 2025, where he quickly made an impression in the club’s youth set-up.
His form earned him training time with Granada’s senior squad and early experience in Spanish professional football. He also scored regularly for Granada B, finishing with 16 goals across the club’s youth teams and reserve side.
Madrid’s long-running interest
Real Madrid had tracked him for some time, and talks with Granada progressed in recent weeks. Early reports suggested a loan move to Castilla with an option to buy for around €2 million, before the latest Moroccan reporting said the transfer had been finalised.
Zeniby Talbi now gets a chance to develop in a more competitive setting and push towards Madrid’s first team in the years ahead.
