Morocco's top scorer on LaLiga's agenda

Girona wants to continue exploiting the Moroccan market after the excellent performance offered by Girona. Convinced they made the right choice with his signing, Montilivi now works to replicate the success with another big name in African football, this time to strengthen the forward line.

The target is none other than Ayoub El Kaabi, one of Morocco's leading offensive players in recent years. The striker, currently at Olympiacos, is on the Catalan club's radar as an opportunity to immediately enhance the attacking quality.

A Proven Goalscorer with Elite Figures

Ayoub El Kaabi is a household name in Moroccan football. With 30 goals in 61 matches for the national team, he has become one of the most reliable and decisive attackers in the country. His ability to shine in crucial moments and his instinct in the box have made him an offensive symbol for Morocco.

At club level, his performance continues to excel. This season, he has scored 15 goals in 22 games across all competitions with Olympiacos, proving that his goalscoring touch remains sharp despite his age. At 32 years old, El Kaabi keeps making a difference both domestically and on big stages.

His displays in the Champions League and the Africa Cup of Nations have enhanced his international reputation, showing that age has not diminished either his physical condition or his ability to compete at the highest level.

Girona Seeks Immediate Impact in Attack

Girona believes El Kaabi fits perfectly into their sporting philosophy. The Catalan club is looking for an experienced striker with leadership qualities and goalscoring ability, capable of starting from day one. The potential arrival of the Moroccan would address that need by providing a presence in the box and a clear reference for the offensive game.

Moreover, his profile would allow the team to find solutions in tight matches where scoring in the opponents' area makes a difference. El Kaabi does not require a long adaptation period, and his career proves he can perform in very different contexts.

From the player's perspective, the option of LaLiga is appealing. Moving to Spanish football would be a new challenge in his career and an opportunity to compete in one of the most demanding leagues globally, within a stable and ambitious project like Girona's.

The Moroccan Connection, a Key Factor

One of the most significant aspects of the deal is the relationship between Ayoub El Kaabi and Azzedine Ounahi. They share the field in the Moroccan national team, and their understanding on the pitch is complete. Girona sees that connection as added value that could speed up the striker's integration and boost the team's offensive performance.

The idea of bringing together two Moroccan figures at Montilivi appeals to both the club and the player himself. El Kaabi would arrive to start and share the spotlight with Ounahi, who has already become a key piece for the Catalan outfit.

Currently, the interest is strong, and discussions are progressing cautiously. If Girona manages to finalize the deal, they would include a proven goalscorer with international experience and competitive hunger. A move that would strengthen their project and confirm that the club can identify talent beyond the major European leagues.
