PAOK is one of several Greek clubs, alongside Olympiacos, Panathinaikos, and AEK, that have previously considered Azzedine Ounahi, a 26-year-old Moroccan central midfielder, who is expected to leave Girona following the club's relegation. In the 2025/2026 LaLiga season, Ounahi made 24 appearances, scoring 5 goals and providing 3 assists. Capped 49 times by Morocco, for whom he has scored 9 goals, he joined Girona from Olympique Marseille in August 2025 for a fee of €6 million. Recent reports from May 2026 suggest his release clause could drop to around €10 million. His current Transfermarkt valuation is also €10 million.
