Ounahi explodes everything in Gérone: Why OM made the biggest mistake in its recent history!

Brilliant in the colors of Gérone after a difficult passage at Olympique de Marseille, Azzedine Ounahi has become one of the most coveted midfielders in Europe. A return to the top that highlights the strategic error of the Phocaean club.

Azzedine Ounahi is currently dominating La Liga with Girona FC. With four goals and two assists in sixteen games, the Moroccan international has become the technical pillar of the Catalan team. His exceptional performances have led its leaders to set his release clause at 20 million euros to counter the growing interest of major English and German clubs.

Coach Míchel Sánchez does not skimp on praise for his midfielder, stating that he is "one of the most talented players in the Spanish championship". According to information relayed by El Chiringuito, the Atlas Lion plays with total serenity, never feeling the pressure. This technical mastery, already seen during the 2022 World Cup, has earned him several man of the match awards.

This dazzling form contrasts sharply with his past situation at Marseille. Considered undesirable and relegated to the reserve team by the Phocaean management, Ounahi had been pushed out. The leaders at the time were annoyed to see the player refuse offers, including one from Spartak Moscow for 12 million euros, as the Moroccan demanded a more competitive championship to express himself.

Yet the 25-year-old player was right to bet on his talent to secure his place in the selection for the 2026 World Cup. By regaining his best level in Catalonia, he proves that he had his place in the European elite. For Olympique de Marseille, having let go of such a profile for an amount well below its current valuation now looks like a major misjudgment.
