**Hachim Mastour’s Malaga Loan Hit by FIFA Authorization Delay**
After a stint with AC Milan, promising Moroccan talent Hachim Mastour joined FC Malaga on loan this season, with the Spanish club holding a €6 million purchase option. At just 17 years old, Mastour was expected to make an impact at the Andalusian side.
However, the young striker is currently sidelined due to administrative issues. Because Mastour is a minor, Malaga needed special authorization from FIFA to register him. While the club initially expected a quick resolution—citing how Real Madrid secured approval for young Norwegian Martin Ødegaard’s transfer in just 17 days—FIFA’s ongoing turmoil has caused delays.
According to AS, Malaga has not received any response from FIFA for over a month, leaving Mastour in limbo and unable to play.
