Rayan Zinebi: Real Madrid Castilla secure Morocco-Spain striker on loan

Morocco-Spain centre-forward Rayan Zinebi has joined Real Madrid Castilla from Recre Granada on loan, completing his move to the Primera Federacion side on 28 August.

The 19-year-old, who was born in Barcelona, will remain with Castilla until 30 June 2027. He is a right-footed striker standing 1.89m tall and becomes part of the club’s attacking group for the 2026-27 campaign.

Zinebi arrives after spending the previous season with Recre Granada, whom he joined from AE Prat on 1 July 2025. His senior experience includes two LaLiga2 appearances, totalling 68 minutes.

Before moving into senior football, Zinebi played for AE Prat’s under-19 side. He joined that club from Cornella’s youth set-up in July 2024, after beginning his recorded development with the Catalan side.

The forward holds Moroccan and Spanish nationality. His arrival gives Castilla another centre-forward option as the team competes in Primera Federacion – Group II.

Zinebi’s loan is scheduled to end on 30 June 2027, when he will return to Recre Granada. He has now completed his temporary switch to Real Madrid Castilla.
