Ounahi England Transfer 2026 World Cup Morocco

Every career choice is now calculated with one fixed idea: the next World Cup. Deprived of the last Africa Cup of Nations due to injury, the Moroccan international desperately wants to find a competitive environment to guarantee his starting position. His current club’s dramatic descent forces him to look toward England. Leeds United, seduced since the 2022 World Cup by his game vision and ability to break lines, has positioned itself. However, discreet negotiations could propel him directly to Manchester City, a transaction facilitated by Girona’s membership in the "City Football Group".

This planned departure would close an extremely paradoxical Spanish season for the player. In a team in crisis, the Moroccan managed to stand out with solid individual statistics: five goals scored and three assists delivered. While some supporters criticize his sometimes inconsistent performances, he retains the absolute confidence of his coach. Míchel Sánchez still sees in him the true "maestro" of the dressing room, praising his unique ability to dictate the pace of matches under heavy pressure.

On the contractual front, the situation favors English suitors. Tied to Girona until 2030, the playmaker has a release clause of 20 million euros, an amount considered a real bargain by Leeds management. For its part, the Spanish club is very open to selling its player, seeing a great financial opportunity to replenish coffers depleted by relegation.
