Real Madrid tracking teenage San Diego FC winger Bryan Zamble

Real Madrid have begun closely monitoring San Diego FC winger Bryan Zamble, according to reports, with the Spanish club viewing the 18-year-old Ivory Coast international as a player to watch over the coming years.

The report by Fichajes says Real Madrid have identified Zamble as an emerging talent, although there is no suggestion that the club have made a formal offer for the teenager.

Born in Abidjan in February 2008, Zamble developed for much of his youth career at the Right to Dream academy in Ghana, one of the continent’s best-known football development programmes. He moved to San Diego FC in February 2026, joining the Major League Soccer club at the age of 18.

San Diego FC handed him a contract running until the end of 2026, with an option to extend the agreement for a further three seasons.

Zamble has represented Ivory Coast at youth level and was part of the country’s under-16 squad at the Tournoi de Montaigu in 2024. He is capable of operating as a left winger or in a more central attacking role, while his pace and ability to take on defenders in tight areas are regarded as key strengths.

His transition into senior football has already attracted attention. On his MLS debut, Zamble scored only a few minutes after coming on as a substitute against Montreal.

He has continued that progress during his first season in the competition, scoring twice in eight MLS appearances. His performances have now brought him to the attention of Real Madrid, potentially giving his career a significant new direction.

Zamble’s estimated market value is €800,000, although that figure could change as he gains more experience and continues to establish himself in professional football.

Real Madrid’s interest comes as the club prepares to begin its Spanish league campaign against Real Sociedad in their opening fixture. The match is listed with Real Madrid as the clear favourites, with odds of 1.34 for a home win, 5.20 for a draw and 7.00 for a Real Sociedad victory.

For now, Zamble remains a San Diego FC player and is continuing his development in Major League Soccer. But his early impact, international background and versatility in attack have made him a prospect worthy of attention from one of European football’s most prominent clubs.
