Azzedine Ounahi has become one of the big names to follow this summer. The 26-year-old Moroccan international has shone in LaLiga with Girona, the team that recently got relegated to Segunda División, and his performance has not gone unnoticed by European clubs. According to the latest rumors from Celta de Vigo, the Vigo club has made a move for the African player, aware of the great opportunity his €10 million release clause represents. Ounahi, concentrated with Morocco in the World Cup, has attracted the attention of several teams for his ability to create imbalance, vision of play, and arrival from the second line.
Girona, on the other hand, faces the need to adjust its squad after relegation and knows that Ounahi's departure could bring in a significant economic boost. The €10 million release clause is very attractive to interested clubs, and its low cost relative to his potential and quality makes his departure practically assured if Celta decides to formalize the offer. Matteo Moretto has confirmed that negotiations between the Galician club and the player's entourage have already begun, and Celta is confident that they can convince the Moroccan international, who sees the opportunity to take a step forward in his career and continue competing at the European level.
Celta de Vigo considers Azzedine Ounahi's €10 million clause
Celta de Vigo, who will once again compete in the Europa League, is seeking to strengthen their midfield and provide more creativity and arrival from the second line. Ounahi meets all these requirements, and his experience in LaLiga makes him a player who can quickly adapt to the playing style of the Galician club.
The Vigo ensemble, aware of the interest other clubs may have in the Moroccan, aims to act swiftly and close the deal before other teams enter the bidding. Celta's intention is to formalize the €10 million release clause and ensure that Ounahi arrives at Balaídos in the summer.
The player has shown great commitment during the season despite the threat of relegation, demonstrating his ability to perform in important matches. His arrival would allow Celta to have a player capable of creating chances, assisting, and scoring goals from the attacking midfield position, thus enhancing the team's offensive level. The sports management of the Galician club is already working with the player's agent and entourage to finalize the contractual details and ensure that his signing is the first significant move of the summer market.

The €10 million clause makes Ounahi a relative bargain for a player of his quality and potential. At 26 years old, he is at the optimal point in his career, combining maturity and experience with room for improvement. This makes the operation strategically attractive for both Celta and the player, who will benefit from continuing to compete at the European level and establishing himself as a key player in an ambitious team.
Girona, on their part, will not oppose the sale, aware that a reasonable amount for Ounahi could help balance the squad after relegation and reinforce other critical positions. Negotiations are expected to progress rapidly in the coming weeks, especially once the Moroccan's participation in the World Cup concludes, a moment when he can calmly consider the offers and decide his professional future.
With Ounahi's arrival, Celta secures a player capable of making a difference in the Europa League and LaLiga, with the potential to maintain competitive stability and aim for higher goals.
The Galician club is confident that the agreement with Girona will be concluded smoothly, making the Moroccan one of the first and most important reinforcements of the summer market. If finalized, Ounahi will have the opportunity to grow in a club with European aspirations and further establish himself as one of Morocco's most prominent talents.
