Announcement imminent: Real Madrid loan out Super Eagles-eligible winger

President of the Unión Deportiva Las Palmas, Miguel Angel Ramirez Alonso has confirmed that Akinlabi has passed a medical examination and already started training inside the Barranco Seco facilities.
Akinlabi will be joining UD Las Palmas on loan for the remainder of the 2023-2024 season, with a mandatory purchase option included in the deal if La Unión Deportiva retain their La Liga status at the end of the campaign.

"He has already undergone a medical check-up and although he is a bit touched because he injured his ankle training in Madrid, and needs to recover, today we will make it official and I imagine he will present himself tomorrow."
Akinlabi has made four career appearances in La Liga for parent club Real Madrid, the last of which came against Granada on May 13, 2021.
