The Catalan club, relegated to Spain’s second division, must revise its financial plans. This situation opens the door to a transfer in the upcoming summer market, as several clubs are closely monitoring the Moroccan player.

According to Fichajes, Bologna has already begun moves to try to sign Ounahi. The Italian club wants to strengthen its midfield and sees the Moroccan international as a profile capable of bringing dynamism, ball-carrying ability and forward projection.

Morocco plays a central role in this new exposure. Ounahi’s performances with the Lions of the Atlas, notably his brace against Canada in the round of 16, have strengthened his image on the European market.

Bologna wants to accelerate

Bologna is not alone in the race. Fiorentina is also monitoring the situation, while Villarreal and Real Sociedad are also cited among interested clubs. This competition could push the Italians to act quickly.

Ounahi is tied to Girona until 2030, but the Spanish club’s relegation changes things. His clause is believed to be between 20 and 25 million euros, but Girona could accept a lower offer, around 10 million euros, to ease its accounts.

The player also has a solid international profile. At 26 years old, he already has over 50 caps with Morocco and has established himself as one of the most prominent midfielders of the Lions of the Atlas across several major competitions.
