According to reports, both Real Madrid and Barcelona have begun closely monitoring Ibrahim Rabbaj's development for a possible future approach. However, due to his age and contractual situation, any significant action regarding a transfer is more probable from January 2027 onwards, when he turns 18. Chelsea are not expected to facilitate a transfer, as the London side has invested heavily in the player’s development and still views him as one of the most highly valued players in their academy. His contract renewal earlier this year was partly intended to protect the club from this type of interest.

Rumors link Chelsea's 17-year-old Moroccan attacking midfielder, Ibrahim Rabbaj, with a transfer to Barça. The player is reportedly focused on his progression at his current club. In the 2025/26 season, Rabbaj has scored 4 goals and provided 1 assist in 10 appearances in the U18 Premier League. The Morocco U17 international has 8 caps and is under contract with Chelsea until June 30, 2028.
