AZ Alkmaar are being linked with a move for Sparta Rotterdam winger Ayoub Oufkir, with the Eredivisie club reportedly monitoring the 19-year-old’s rapid rise.
The Dutch-Moroccan right winger, valued at €1.20m on Transfermarkt, is rumoured to be a target for AZ as they look to strengthen their attacking options. The speculation centres on a potential move from Sparta R. to Alkmaar, with the probability of the transfer currently listed as “?” on the database, underlining that talks, if any, are at a very early stage.
Oufkir is under contract at Sparta, but no expiry date is listed, leaving open the theoretical possibility that he could become a free agent in the future if no extension is agreed. For now, though, any switch would be expected to involve a fee, with his rising market value over 2025 reflecting growing interest in his progress.
Born in Rotterdam on 4 January 2006, Oufkir has come through the Sparta system, progressing from Sparta Rotterdam Youth to the U18s in 2022, then to the U21s in 2024 and into the first-team squad for the 2025–26 campaign. He operates primarily as an attacking right winger and is a left-footed player, a profile that would fit AZ’s preference for inverted wide forwards.
The Netherlands and Morocco dual national has only played his club football in the Eredivisie set-up so far, with his value jumping from €300,000 in April 2025 to €1.20m by December as Sparta promoted him and his status increased. No specific recent match performances are detailed in the available data, but the consistent upgrades in his valuation suggest a player making notable strides.
If AZ choose to firm up their interest, a move to Alkmaar could offer Oufkir a significant platform in domestic and potentially European competition, and may prove a pivotal step in shaping both his reputation and long-term career trajectory.
