Azzedine Ounahi, a Moroccan midfielder who returned from a loan at Panathinaïkos, has signed a five-year contract with Girona, lasting until June 2030. Olympique de Marseille will receive 6 million euros for 80% of the player's sporting rights. Ounahi was initially recruited from Angers in January 2023 for 8 million euros following his impressive World Cup performance in Qatar.

Girona FC has completed the transfer of Azzedine Ounahi from Olympique Marseille. The transfer fee is around 6 million euros plus a small percentage of future resale. Ounahi expressed a strong desire to play in La Liga with Girona FC, despite receiving multiple offers from other clubs. Olympique Marseille initially demanded 12 million euros to cover the amount they paid for him after his impressive World Cup performance with Morocco. However, Ounahi's preference for moving to Spain prevailed. The report is confirmed by Spanish reporter Ivan Quirós.

Azzedine Ounahi is being pushed towards an exit by Olympique de Marseille and is set to sign with Gérone, as he desired. According to several Spanish sources, the Moroccan international midfielder will join the Spanish club. An agreement was reached with OM for a transfer valued at 6 million euros, which is significantly lower than the 12 million euros initially demanded by the Marseille management. However, the club negotiated a percentage on a future sale.

Africafoot has reported that Girona has increased their offer for Azzedine Ounahi, who is eager to continue his career in Spain. The Catalan club is reportedly preparing to present a new proposal to Marseille, offering 5 million euros plus bonuses to enhance their midfield with the 24-year-old player. Ounahi, who completed a full season with Panathinaikos, is said to prefer playing in a more competitive league. Despite Panathinaikos' offer of 10 million euros to retain him, he is reportedly inclined towards playing in Spain. Furthermore, the situation is complicated by a dispute with his former manager, Mehdi Benatia, who had advocated for a transfer to Qatar, a move that Ounahi refused as he wished to remain in Europe. It appears that Ounahi has reached an agreement with Girona and is determined to play in Spain. Meanwhile, the French club, Marseille, has reportedly reduced their asking price to 8 million euros.
