Girona has taken a firm step in the transfer market by securing the services of Azzedine Ounahi, a 25-year-old Moroccan midfielder who arrives from Olympique de Marseille.
The transfer has been closed around six million euros plus a small percentage of a future sale, a manageable amount for a player who was not part of the French club's plans and who now finds in Montilivi the perfect opportunity to revitalize his career.
Girona completes the signing of Ounahi
As reported by MundoDeportivo, the addition of the Moroccan international gains even more importance considering Yangel Herrera's situation, who is very close to joining Real Sociedad. His imminent departure had left a void in the Gerona midfield, and Ounahi's signing appears as the ideal solution to cover that gap effectively. With his arrival, Míchel adds a profile of quality, physical prowess, and game vision, capable of bringing balance to a team that aims to remain among the main players in LaLiga.
In Marseille, Ounahi had lost prominence in recent months, being sidelined despite his good qualities. The lack of playing time was decisive in his search for a new destination, and Girona seized the opportunity. The playing style of the Madrid-born coach convinced the player, who sees in the white-and-red team an ideal stage to shine again.
The player not only brings muscle and recovery capability but also clarity in distribution and boldness with the ball. His experience in the 2022 Qatar World Cup, where Morocco was one of the big surprises reaching the semifinals, is a testament that reinforces his competitive strength. This international maturity will be crucial for Girona's aim to continue growing, not only in Spain but also in the European scene.
The Catalan club's project has attracted Ounahi, who has expressed his desire to play in Spain on several occasions. Now, he achieves it in a team in full expansion, with a devoted fan base and an attractive style that has gained recognition throughout Europe. The board trusts that the player will undergo the usual medical examinations in the next few hours before joining the team's dynamics.
Once this step is completed, the midfielder will be officially presented, and it is expected that he will be available as soon as possible to be included in match squad lists. Girona's fans receive the news with excitement, knowing that Ounahi could become a key player in the fight to stay at the top of the standings.
With this operation, Girona not only achieves a strategic signing but also demonstrates its ambition to reinforce intelligently. In Ounahi, they find a perfect substitute for Yangel Herrera, a player with a hunger for prominence and enough quality to make a mark in Montilivi.
