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 larache], El Jebari started his career with Rayo Vallecano, before joining Atlético Madrid in 2018.[2][3]

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.[2][3] El Jebari appeared in the Atlético Madrid B team in January 2022, making his debut in a 2–0 Tercera Federación win against Parla.[3]

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).[4]

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.[1]

In February 2023, he refused a call-up to the Spain under-19 team, being replaced in the squad by teammate Adrián Niño.[5][6][7] 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.[8]

El Jebari was called up to the Morocco national under-20 football team for the Maurice Revello Tournament 2023.[9]
