Youssef enríquez lekhedim known as “yusi”. This name may not say anything to you, however, it has established itself as a reference to his post in the categories of young people of Real Madrid, and should make himself known to the general public in the coming days. The 19 -year -old left -back is now Carlo Ancelotti's first choice after the injuries of Fernand Mendy, David Alaba and Eduardo Camavonga, and according to the Spanish press, there is no doubt that he will be in the group against Celta de Vigo. Better yet, he should start as a holder.
A great reward for a player followed for several years and who was already riding on the club's categories of the club. To the point of being summoned by Walid Regragui and the A of Morocco selection. After having made his classes with the categories of young people from Spain by being regularly summoned and having played the U17 Euro with the Rojita in 2022, Yusi had finally opted for Morocco. And his profile had quickly seduced the Moroccan coach to the point of being quickly compared to Achraf Hakimi in the profile and in the course.
Real Madrid is counting on him
Called in March 2024 at the same time as a certain Brahim Diaz, the Moroccan left side, from Getafe like Hakimi, could have known his first pro match in pro and his first selection at the same time (as did … Hakimi at the time). Finally, he had taken advantage of this gathering to discover a new group, but had not been used by Regragui. A year later, the time has come for him to finally launch his career as a professional in his training club. Carlo Ancelotti also knows him pretty well and had summoned him for the World Cup in Qatar, last December but also once in Liga and another time in C1.
Indispensable player of Raul who had wanted to have it in his ranks as often as possible this season to play the climb (holder in each match of Castilla in the first RFEF), Youssef Lekhedim remains very appreciated by his management. Filled by a German club during the last transfer window, he had not wished to follow up, believing that he first wanted to try his luck in Madrid. This Friday morning, AS also reveals that the Madrid management “believes that its offensive profile and its great ability to influence attack” is something that is currently lacking in Real Madrid. Above all, his impressive physical allows him to be an alternative to the high level. It remains to be seen now when the Moroccan will make his big debut but the returns within the club are unanimous: he has his shoulders to become the new left side of the club.
