Salim El Jebari El Hannouni (born 5 February 2004) is a professional footballer who currently plays as a forward for Atlético Madrid B. Born in Spain, he has represented Morocco at youth international level.

Club career

Born in Madrid to Moroccan parents from Asilah, El Jebari started his career with Rayo Vallecano, before joining Atlético Madrid in 2018.[1] [2]

Atlético Madrid

El Jebari signed his first professional deal with the Atlético Madrid two years after joining, and then signed a three-year extension in March 2022. El Jebari appeared in the Atlético Madrid B team in January 2022, making his debut in a 2–0 Tercera Federación win against Parla.

On 4 June 2023, El Jebari was selected for Atlético Madrid's senior squad and was an unused substitute for their La Liga fixture against Villarreal CF (a 2-2 draw).[3]

International career

Eligible to represent both Spain and Morocco, El Jebari played for the under-17 side of Morocco before a short stint with Spain's under-18 side in 2022, scoring once against Denmark before going on to make three further appearances.

In February 2023, he refused a call-up to the Spain under-19 team, being replaced in the squad by teammate Adrián Niño.[4] [5] [6] In May of the same year, he explained his decision, stating that he felt a sense of belonging in the Morocco camp and dreamed to represent them at full international level.[7]

El Jebari was called up to the Morocco national under-20 football team for the Maurice Revello Tournament 2023.[8]
