Ajax Pursues Azzedine Ounahi After Impressive World Cup Performance
Ajax Amsterdam is reportedly in active negotiations to secure the signing of Moroccan midfielder Azzedine Ounahi from the Spanish club Girona. The 26-year-old player showcased his remarkable talent during the recent World Cup, where he played a pivotal role in leading Morocco to the quarter-finals before their exit against France. Ounahi’s performance on such a grand stage has not gone unnoticed, as he aims to make his mark in one of Europe’s most prestigious leagues.
This potential move follows Ounahi's career trajectory, which saw him rise to prominence in 2022 after his standout performances prompted a lucrative transfer to Olympique de Marseille. However, things did not pan out as expected during his stint in France, leading to a loan spell at Panathinaikos. He subsequently joined Girona last summer, where he continued to develop his skills and reputation.
According to renowned football journalist Fabrizio Romano, Ajax is keen to provide Ounahi with another shot at success in a top European club environment. Current discussions are underway not only between Ajax and Girona but also with the player himself, who has a release clause of €25 million embedded in his contract with Girona. The outcome of these negotiations remains to be seen as Ajax looks to enhance their squad with the addition of a player who has proven his capabilities on the international stage.
