Nordin Al Lal has completed a loan move from Elche Ilicitano to CF Talavera, stepping up from Segunda Federación – Group V to the higher-profile Primera Federación – Group I. The 20-year-old right winger joins Talavera on a temporary deal classified as a loan transfer, with the move officially commencing on 2026-02-02 and scheduled to run until 2026-06-30, when he is due to return to Elche Ilicitano at the end of the loan.
The switch keeps the Moroccan-Spanish attacker in Spain but elevates him into a more competitive division, where he will be tested against stronger opposition on a weekly basis. While no permanent fee is involved in the transaction, the deal comes at a time when his market value is listed at €50k, underlining his status as an emerging prospect within the Spanish lower leagues. At the conclusion of the loan spell on 2026-06-30, his contractual situation with Elche Ilicitano resumes, meaning he is not set to become a free agent as a direct consequence of this move.
Al Lal arrives at CF Talavera as a specialist right winger, operating primarily in attack and favouring his right foot. Born in Melilla and holding both Moroccan and Spanish nationality, he fits the profile of a modern wide forward, combining technical ability with developmental upside. His pathway has been entirely within Spanish football systems so far, progressing from CF Rusadir U19 to Elche CF Youth, then to Elche CF U19, and later into Elche Ilicitano before this loan to Talavera.
The move also represents a continuation of his rise through the Spanish pyramid. Having been registered most recently with Elche Ilicitano in Segunda Federación – Group V, Al Lal now steps into Primera Federación – Group I, a tier higher in the national structure. This transition offers him the opportunity to prove himself in a more demanding league while remaining under the umbrella of Spanish club football.
His market value history reflects a clear upward trajectory in recent seasons at Elche Ilicitano, with valuations increasing to the current €50k mark as he reached 20 years of age. That growth, combined with his age profile and versatile attacking role, helps explain why Talavera moved to secure him on loan rather than wait for any future permanent availability.
For Elche Ilicitano, the arrangement provides a platform for their young winger to gain experience at a higher level before he returns from loan on 2026-06-30. For CF Talavera, it is a low-risk opportunity to add depth and dynamism to their attacking options in Primera Federación – Group I, with the chance to assess his suitability for sustained football at that level.
Al Lal’s career to date has been entirely domestically based, and remaining in Spain’s structured development environment should offer continuity in his progression. How he adapts to the demands of Primera Federación – Group I during this loan period is likely to shape the next step in his career, influencing both his long-term role at Elche Ilicitano and any future interest that could arise once he completes his stay at Talavera.
