According to exclusive information from Africafoot, Al Ittihad has identified Azzedine Ounahi as a priority to strengthen its midfield and is preparing to make an offer to Girona. Al Ittihad is willing to propose 10 million euros to the Spanish club for Ounahi's services. The club has also reserved an annual salary estimated at 5 million euros for the player, aiming to make him one of the best-paid Moroccan players in Asian football. Al Ittihad wishes to conclude the deal quickly to avoid competition from other European suitors. The prepared offer could lead Girona's management to open discussions, as the proposed amount represents a financially appealing transaction.

The Saudi club Al Ittihad has taken action to acquire Girona midfielder Azzedine Ounahi. Ajax is currently perceived to be in the leading position to acquire Ounahi. According to Turkish journalist Ekrem Konur, both Panathinaikos and Olympiacos are also competing for Ounahi. Ounahi played for Panathinaikos on loan from Marseille in the 2024-25 season.

Al Ittihad is interested in Girona's Azzedine Ounahi, and the Saudi Arabian club can offer a much higher transfer fee and salary than Ajax. Ajax is reportedly in advanced negotiations with the 26-year-old Moroccan midfielder, with Longari stating they are close to a definitive agreement. Fabrizio Romano had previously reported that Ounahi's contract contains a €25 million release clause, and he is contracted to the Spanish second-division club until mid-2030.
