Granada have ended goalkeeper Luca Zidane’s two-year stay at the club, deciding not to renew the contract of the Algeria international and son of former France great Zinedine Zidane.
Zidane joined Granada in the summer of 2024 and spent the past two seasons with the Spanish side. During that period, he made four appearances for the club across domestic league and cup competitions.
Granada chose not to extend the agreement when it came to an end. The club thanked Zidane for his work and wished him success in his future career, bringing his time with the team to a close.
The decision marks the latest change in the career of the 27-year-old goalkeeper, who has represented Algeria at international level. Zidane was born into one of football’s most prominent families, with his father Zinedine having enjoyed a distinguished playing career before moving into management.
Luca Zidane previously played for Rayo Vallecano and Eibar in Spain. He also spent time with Real Madrid, where his father gave him opportunities in the first team during his spell as the club’s manager.
His appearances for Real Madrid came while Zinedine Zidane was in charge at the Santiago Bernabeu. The goalkeeper later continued his career in Spanish football, eventually moving to Granada in 2024.
Despite his limited number of matches for Granada, Zidane remained part of the club’s goalkeeping group for the duration of his contract. His departure now leaves him looking for a new club after two years with the Spanish side.
Granada’s decision was communicated in routine terms, with the club acknowledging Zidane’s contribution and offering him best wishes for the next stage of his career. No further details about his next destination were provided.
Zidane’s international status adds another element to his experience. He is a goalkeeper for Algeria, having chosen to represent the country at senior level, while his club career has been based largely in Spain.
His professional path has included links with several well-known Spanish clubs, from Real Madrid to Rayo Vallecano and Eibar, before his two-season spell at Granada. That period ended after four competitive appearances, with the club now moving on without extending his contract.
For Granada, the conclusion of Zidane’s agreement is part of the club’s preparations for the next stage of its squad planning. For the goalkeeper, it leaves the next move of his career unresolved after a short but notable period with the Spanish club.
