Azzedine Ounahi’s stock skyrockets, already receiving proposals
The Moroccan midfielder, a true revelation of the World Cup in Qatar, has finally found his cruising speed in Spain. Having become indispensable at Girona, Azzedine Ounahi is now attracting the interest of Villarreal, ready to triple the bid to secure his services this summer.
Azzedine Ounahi’s stock is soaring again on the Spanish market. While the 25-year-old player is thriving under the colors of Girona, Villarreal is already positioning itself for the next summer transfer window. The sports management of the "Groguets" club would consider an offer of around 20 million euros to recruit the Moroccan international. This amount would represent a spectacular capital gain for the Catalan club, which had only spent six million euros last summer to bet on this talent.
This interest marks the end of a long desert crossing for the World Cup semi-finalist. Long labeled as an "intermittent promise" after an inconsistent start in Europe, Ounahi has definitively chased away his old demons, according to Fichages Analysis. Under the guidance of coach Míchel, he has traded his status as an inconsistent prospect for that of a key player in a demanding offensive system. In just ten official matches, he already has three goals and two assists, bringing the verticality and technical mastery that were lacking in the past.
The transformation is complete. If Luis Enrique had predicted a bright future for the Atlas Lion after his performance against Spain in Qatar, it took his arrival in Catalonia for the potential to be converted into lasting reality. Now, the player combines defensive commitment and sharp decision-making. A consistency that leads Girona to consider a lucrative sale, even if the priority remains the collective performance for the time being. For his part, Ounahi knows that his new status as a star of La Liga depends on the persistence of his current efforts.
