According to Tuttomercato, Azzedine Ounahi was known to Fiorentina and their staff, and the club considered him a transfer target. Ounahi has a contract with Girona until 2030, earns approximately 1.2 million euros per season plus 300,000 euros in bonuses, and has a release clause of 20 million euros in his agreement with the Spanish club. However, Kristian Thorstvedt is now the primary target for Fiorentina.

Azzedine Ounahi is in significant demand, with several clubs from top European leagues monitoring his situation. Fiorentina is among the clubs linked with Ounahi. These clubs can offer higher contracts and transfer fees, as well as participation in more competitive leagues, which makes Panathinaikos' effort more difficult. According to Spanish journalist Jan Vindeman from Girona Media, Ounahi will leave Girona but will not pressure the club for his transfer. A final decision is expected after the World Cup. The transfer fee is expected to be around 20 million euros, and his release clause is 25 million euros.

According to Eldesmarque, Fiorentina is also willing to acquire Azzedine Ounahi. Ounahi is valued at 10 million euros.

Azzedine Ounahi is being considered as a potential target for Fiorentina. The Girona midfielder has attracted interest from many clubs and his departure is considered certain following his team's relegation. Fiorentina's sporting director, Fabio Paratici, was very impressed by Ounahi, but the upcoming World Cup is the main obstacle to a potential deal.
