Elyaz Zidane: Carrying on the Zidane Legacy at Real Madrid

Zinedine Zidane is a name etched in the annals of Real Madrid’s history. The iconic Frenchman is a club legend, having left an indelible mark both as a player and as a manager, making him one of the most synonymous figures with the illustrious white jersey.

Zidane’s sons have embraced their father’s legacy, all donning the Real Madrid colors at various stages, even though none have fully asserted their presence at the club. Enzo and Luca have each had stints with the first team, but have since moved on. Theo currently plies his trade with Castilla, with an outside chance of earning a first-team promotion.

The youngest scion of the Zidane clan, Elyaz, at just 17 years old, has embarked on a journey with Real Madrid’s U19 side this season. In a promising start, he recently notched his maiden goal for the team after coming on as a substitute.

Under the guidance of U19 head coach Alvaro Arbeloa, Elyaz is on track to secure a regular starting role in a squad that holds high aspirations for success in various competitions this season. Impressively, Elyaz has already tasted training sessions with the Real Madrid senior squad, despite his tender age.

According to Marca, Elyaz is considered the most gifted among the four Zidane offspring, elevating his prospects of making a mark in the Real Madrid first team when the opportunity arises. For now, he continues to hone his skills and make strides at the Juvenil A level, carrying on the Zidane legacy at the club.
