Anouar El Azzouzi leaving PEC Zwolle?
There is significant interest in Anouar El Azzouzi from other clubs, and it is expected that he will transfer this summer, although not to Austria Wien.
Laola1.at reported that Anouar El Azzouzi's transfer to FK Austria Wien was canceled. Anouar El Azzouzi was expected to join FK Austria Wien for the upcoming season, with the deal being nearly finalized except for the signature. However, the transfer was called off. The reason given was Austria Wien's inability to secure the runner-up spot in the league, which resulted in them being relegated to the Conference League qualification rather than the Champions League qualification, affecting the financial outlook. The transfer fee was set at 1.5 million Euros, with the possibility of increasing to 2 million Euros with bonuses. El Azzouzi had already traveled to Vienna for a medical check, but the transfer did not materialize.
There are reports from journalist Bart Kruyt via Voetbal International that everything is agreed between FK Austria Wien and Anouar El Azzouzi. Only some details are pending.
