Azzedine Ounahi, a 26-year-old midfielder from Girona, has entered the FC Barcelona transfer market to cover for Frenkie de Jong's absence during this transfer window. The Catalan club is considering his signing, but the Girona team demands the payment of his €25 million release clause.

The injury of the Dutch player has forced Deco to explore available alternatives for the midfield. De Jong has suffered a rupture of the internal lateral ligament of the right knee, and his recovery period will depend on the response to conservative treatment.

FC Barcelona Considers Signing Azzedine Ounahi

FC Barcelona sees Ounahi as a solution to expand a rotation affected by De Jong's absence. The potential departure of Marc Casadó would also limit the options before the start of LaLiga.

Currently, Pedri, Gavi, and Marc Bernal emerge as the main alternatives for the interior positions and pivot role. The sports management seeks to prevent a new injury from leaving the team without enough midfielders at the beginning of the season.

Azzedine Ounahi's profile is not identical to De Jong's. The Moroccan mainly operates as an attacking midfielder, although he can also play in the playmaker role or start from a wing to receive the ball between the lines.

This versatility broadens the squad's possibilities but does not provide a direct replacement for De Jong's ball distribution and defensive midfield duties. Barça will need to consider this difference before making an offer to Girona.

Girona Demands Payment of €25 Million Clause

Girona does not intend to facilitate the midfielder's exit after relegation. The club refers to a €25 million release clause, even though the drop to LaLiga Hypermotion reduces its revenues and complicates the continuity of several players. Recent reports suggested that Ajax was his destination, but Barcelona's interest changes the situation.

Ounahi is under contract until 2030, giving Barcelona control over the transfer conditions. The player has multiple options to leave, but no offer from Barcelona has yet met the required amount.

Ajax is among the clubs working on his signing. Míchel, Ounahi's coach in the past season, supports his move to the Dutch side, although negotiations have not led to a final agreement.

Other teams have inquired about the player during the summer. Competition forces FC Barcelona to decide whether to proceed with the operation or focus resources on another profile better suited to play as a pivot.

Ounahi's Stats in LaLiga

Azzedine Ounahi played 24 games in the last LaLiga season, with 20 starts totaling nearly 1,760 minutes. His offensive output included five goals and two assists.

The Moroccan missed the two league matches against Barcelona due to physical issues. However, his performance throughout the season maintained his value despite Girona's relegation.

The duration of De Jong's absence will determine the next steps. Initial treatment might shorten his recovery, but surgery could sideline him for about four months. Barcelona must clarify this timetable and resolve Casadó's future before advancing with Azzedine Ounahi or dismissing the payment of the €25 million.
