Premier League
The Hull City has initiated contacts in this August 2026 market to secure the signing of Azzedine Ounahi, a 26-year-old midfielder from Girona. This signing would give Girona an additional boost in the transfer market.
The English board is looking to add the Moroccan international to strengthen their midfield ahead of their debut in the Premier League 2026/2027 against Manchester United, taking advantage of the fact that the Catalan club has reduced the player's transfer price to 10 million euros following their relegation.

Girona's financial conditions and the interest from the Premier League
Ounahi arrived at Girona in August 2025 from Olympique de Marseille for 6 million euros, signing a long-term contract until June 2030. Despite his market value on Transfermarkt being 18 million euros, the relegation of the Spanish team has set his price at 10 million euros, a figure that Hull City's board is willing to bear.
The 26-year-old midfielder has 55 caps and 11 goals for the Moroccan national team. Hull City's sporting plan involves securing him as a starting player in midfield to pursue the goal of remaining in the British top tier.
Ajax's competition and the options from Saudi Arabia
Despite the English offer, Ajax stands as the player's preferred destination to continue his career. The prospect of reuniting with Míchel Sánchez in the Netherlands tilts the scale towards the Amsterdam side, which is concurrently negotiating the transfer conditions with Girona's board.
Furthermore, several clubs from the Saudi Professional League have made informal inquiries about the player. However, offers from Saudi Arabia have taken a backseat as Ounahi prioritizes staying in European football.
Girona's board will assess the formal proposals received from English and Dutch football during the third week of August 2026. If Hull City submits an offer of the required 10 million euros before the weekend, the selling club will communicate the final decision to Ounahi to resolve his transfer.
