Rayane Bounida

Rayane Bounida attacks space for Ajax, sprinting beyond the line to threaten the back post. Rayane Bounida rose from Anderlecht's academy before signing for Ajax on his 16th birthday in March 2022. He broke through in Ajax's first team. His senior debut came on February 16, 2025, in a Eredivisie win over Heracles Almelo. Bounida made his Champions League bow on November 25, 2025, starting against Benfica. He notched his first senior goal on December 17, 2025, in a KNVB Cup match vs Excelsior Maassluis, also recording four assists. As an attacking midfielder who has represented Belgium at U19 and U21 levels, Rayane Bounida links play with one-touch layoffs and presses high to create separation for the frontline.
