Azzedine Ounahi aims to become one of the big summer sales for Girona. The Moroccan midfielder doesn't seem destined to play in Segunda División after the Catalan team's relegation, and his departure is beginning to be seen as a matter of time. Although his release clause remains at 25 million euros, Montilivi would accept an offer close to 20 million to unlock a deal that could help balance the planning, according to the latest transfer rumors in Spain.
The name of Azzedine Ounahi has attracted the interest of several LaLiga clubs. Real Sociedad, Villarreal, Celta de Vigo, and Real Betis have knocked on his door, aware that Girona's relegation opens up a rare opportunity in the market. The Moroccan possesses quality, international experience, and a knack for breaking lines, making him a very attractive profile for teams looking to strengthen their midfield with immediate talent.
Girona accepts Azzedine Ounahi's departure and triggers a war in LaLiga
Girona knows that keeping Azzedine Ounahi in Segunda División will be very challenging. The player arrived to make a difference in LaLiga and his competitive level doesn't align with a season in the lower league.
Furthermore, his salary and market value prompt the Catalan club to seek a sale to gain liquidity without giving away one of their key assets.
The figure of 20 million euros emerges as a balancing point. Girona maintains a strong position due to the 25-million-euro release clause, but relegation alters the scenario and calls for pragmatism.
Selling Azzedine Ounahi for a significant amount would allow the club to restructure its squad and avoid an awkward situation with a player who aspires to keep competing at the highest level.

Real Betis and Villarreal have a clear advantage: Champions League. For Azzedine Ounahi, participating in the top continental competition can be a decisive factor in choosing his destination.
Both clubs offer European visibility, ambitious projects, and a sporting structure ready for the Moroccan to continue his development.
Real Betis sees in Azzedine Ounahi a midfielder capable of providing creativity, driving play forward, and adding composure to a midfield that may undergo significant changes. In Heliópolis, his ability to accelerate plays from central areas and international experience are admired.
Villarreal, on the other hand, fits in terms of style, offensive approach, and their usual knack for nurturing technical players.
Real Sociedad seems like a less appealing path at the moment. The Basque team boasts prestige, stability, and a distinct playing style, but the absence of European competition weakens its position against other contenders.
In a crucial summer for his career, Azzedine Ounahi may prioritize a project with continental exposure.
Celta de Vigo is also paying attention. The Galician team will compete in the Europa League and can offer Azzedine Ounahi an important role within a growing project.
Although the economic aspect of the deal won't be simple, Celta de Vigo believes the Moroccan can raise the competitiveness level in midfield.
The final decision rests on the player, Girona, and each club's ability to approach the 20 million mark. What seems clear is that Azzedine Ounahi's days are numbered in Montilivi. After the relegation, his future once again points towards LaLiga, but far from Girona.
