Azzedine Ounahi, a 26-year-old Moroccan midfielder, leaves Girona and returns to Panathinaikos in a transfer closed for 14 million euros. The operation was completed on September 2, after a transfer window in which the player received offers from several clubs and made it clear that he did not want to continue in the Second Division.

Azzedine Ounahi rejects Ajax and returns to Greece

Ounahi's departure marks the end of just one season at Girona, who signed him from Olympique de Marseille in August 2025 for 6 million euros. The Moroccan played 24 matches, scoring 5 goals and providing 2 assists, before leaving Montilivi following the Catalan team's relegation.

The relegation was decisive in his decision. Girona now faces the season in the Second Division, and Ounahi did not play any matches in LaLiga Hypermotion before finalizing his departure. Doubts about his continuity had arisen during the summer.

The transfer also confirms the competition for the player. Ajax, PSV Eindhoven, Panathinaikos, and Al-Ittihad had presented offers close to the 20 million euros that Girona set as a reference, while the player's release clause was set at 25 million.

Míchel's Ajax was one of the clubs that closely followed the Moroccan international. The Dutch club had identified Ounahi as an option to strengthen their midfield, but the player ultimately chose to return to Athens, where he had already played on loan during the 2024/25 season.

Panathinaikos re-signs Azzedine Ounahi

Panathinaikos has secured Ounahi's return through a permanent transfer and has signed him to a four-year contract until June 2030. The Greek club announced the signing on September 3, a day after finalizing the deal with Girona.

His first spell in Athens concluded with 25 matches, 5 goals, and 4 assists in the 2024/25 season. That performance established a bond between the player and the Greek club, which weighed heavily in his choice when multiple options emerged during the transfer window.

For Girona, the sale represents a recovery of more than double the 6 million euros invested just a year earlier. The Catalan club had also set a 25 million euros release clause, but ended up accepting a lower amount to close the deal in the final days of the transfer window.

The departure comes after sports director Quique Cárcel acknowledged that Ounahi wanted to leave and that Girona held firm on their price until receiving a proposal that allowed negotiations. The agreement with Panathinaikos was finally reached in the final stretch of the Greek transfer market.

Therefore, Azzedine Ounahi leaves behind Girona's project, rejects the option from Míchel's Ajax, and returns to Panathinaikos with a contract until 2030. The operation is recorded at 14 million euros and finalizes one of the pending departures of the Catalan team after their relegation.
