The priority position in Deco’s eyes remains that of number 9, but FC Barcelona intends to strengthen in the middle. Frenkie de Jong will be absent for several months due to a knee injury, while Marc Casado should pack his bags before the end of the month. The Catalan club is therefore working on several avenues, including Rodri, the Manchester City player, who the Blaugranas could snatch from their Madrid sworn enemy.
But the MVP of the last World Cup is not the only player coveted by the people of Barcelona, especially since in this matter, Real Madrid remains largely in position. This weekend, a new name came up several times in the Barcelona media: that of Azzedine Ounahi, the Moroccan international, well known in France for his stints at Angers or Olympique de Marseille.
An interesting profile
This Monday, the daily Sport takes stock and explains why he is considered an extremely interesting profile for the Catalans. Firstly, for his experience in La Liga, coming out of a season where he delivered some very big matches, in a difficult context as a bottom team, ultimately relegated. His talent is considered indisputable, being a player who can change a match single-handedly, just as he is capable of laying down the law in the middle. Its versatility is also quite appreciated, with only one doubt: its consistency.
In addition, its price is also very attractive. His release clause is only 25 million euros, and Girona would agree to let him go for a sum of around 10 million euros, as revealed Mundo Deportivo Sunday. A paltry sum for a 26-year-old player, international with his country and who is coming off a more than satisfactory season on an individual level. To be continued…
