He initially signed a three-year deal with Reginna, who have now announced the termination of his contract with mutual consent. A post shared by Hachim Mastour fantasyhachi. As previously speculated, Reggina has announced a mutual contract termination with Moroccan playmaker Hachim Mastour Reggina serieB pic.
In the seven years since, Mastour's career has simply failed to take off, with the attacking midfielder struggling to overcome his own hype - while also juggling injuries and a severe lack of game time. Arriving in Milan as a wide-eyed teenager, the Moroccan found himself caught up in a media storm as everyone looked to get a piece of football's next big thing. After dribbling a cherry in a skill showcase not long after being unveiled in endless interviews, Mastour was forced to grow up quickly but seemed to have the confidence to hold his own.
Ball control and dribbling. I do things that other kids my age don't do," Mastour declared to Sky after he joined Milan. While his flashy skills certainly set him apart from other footballers his age, the attacker was still just a kid himself and Milan refused the temptation to simply hand him a competitive first-team appearance - something that would never come to pass. Six appearances later, his contract was terminated after he was reported absent.
There was only one club who could save his failing career - Reggina. He made one appearance last season as his boyhood club were promoted to Serie B. Mastour was born in Italy and represented the nation at under level. He then switched allegiance to his ancestral Morocco, making his senior debut in June as their youngest ever player.
He was first included in a matchday squad for the La Liga home fixture against fellow Andalusians Real Betis two days later, making his competitive club debut in the eventual 0—1 loss by playing five minutes as a substitute for compatriot Adnane Tighadouini. Eligible to play for both the Italy national team and the Morocco national team, he announced on 19 May that he was persuaded to represent the latter, because he felt Morocco to be his country. He was offered the opportunity to have his international debut immediately, while he still had to prove himself to earn a spot for the Italy senior team.
On 12 June , he made his international debut for Morocco in a Africa Cup of Nations qualification Group F match against Libya at the Stade Adrar in Agadir, replacing Nordin Amrabat for the final two minutes of the 1—0 victory.
Thus with this cap, the coach ensured that, according to FIFA rules, he could never re-consider his allegiances in the future. Italian newspaper La Gazzetta dello Sport confirmed that Italy could no longer select him. In doing so, he became Morocco's youngest ever senior international player, aged 16 years old and days.
Mastour claimed at age 14 that his main abilities were his ball control and dribbling. With great control at speed, a good shot with both feet and the ability to change pace, he is expected to shine behind the forwards or as a winger.
Several pundits, including Ivano Pasqualino, have also highlighted Mastour's ball-juggling skills and prowess at free-style football as some of his key strengths and characteristics as a player. In , Omar Danesi, the coach of Milan's under team, praised Mastour's speed and ability to retain the ball from defenders. He predicted a first-team breakthrough, while assuring that Mastour should be given sufficient time to improve beforehand.
Milan youth director, Filippo Galli , said that "nobody at Milan has any doubts about Hachim's ability".
