Azzedine Ounahi is still at the quay. A platform called pro 2 for the moment, a team in which he can train in a professional way before waiting for his situation to evolve. Just like the Cameroonian striker Faris Moumbagna. The 25 -year -old Moroccan environment wishes to find a fulfilling European project and favors the Liga, after having refused for example to rally the Spartak Moscow, which had nevertheless heard with OM around a transfer of € 12 million.

€ 12 million, this is the amount expected by OM to release its Moroccan international, which does not enter the plans of Roberto de Zerbi. And he does not intend to sell him off. Girona realized this when he sent a ridiculous offer for the midfielder, who shone on loan last season on the side of Panathinaikos. An offer of 3 million for 50% of the rights of the player. But Girona's interest was not to displease OM, who tried to use it to strengthen his team. According to our information, exchanges took place between the two clubs on this idea of exchange to facilitate things.

Discussions for an Ounahi – Guttierez exchange

This deal is built in this way: Azzedine Ounahi + a few million to obtain the Spanish left side Miguel Gutierrez. The latter was from the 2023-2024 team which had conquered 3rd place in Liga and therefore a place in the Champions League which he played in the past season. OM is still trying to strengthen itself in this position, following the departure of Quentin Merlin, sold at Stade Rennais. Facundo Medina can certainly play this position, but he could also play in central defense also, which would leave the only Ultisses Garcia to face the whole long season that is announced.

OM therefore explored a possibility with Girona, who painfully finished 16th in the last liga, and offered an interesting challenge to Miguel Gutierrez, trained in Real Madrid, whose market value is estimated around € 20 million. But this deal will not be done since the two clubs did not have the same vision on the valuation of the players. According to our information, the Spanish player should normally join Naples for a 5 -seasons contract and compensation of around 20 million. It will affect 2 million net per year. In the meantime, Ounahi is always looking for a new challenge.
