Angel Gomes, CJ Egan-Riley, Facundo Medina, and this week Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang then Igor Paixao. Olympique de Marseille is one of the clubs that have advanced very well on their recruitment. Just under two weeks from the recovery against Rennes, we already have a good idea of the eleven that Roberto de Zerbi can align.

However, the Marseille leaders could not go after their idea in another file, that which concerns Azzedine Ounahi. The Moroccan international, loaned last season to Panathinaikos, has caught Girona's eye.

Despite his participation in the last Champions League, the 16th of Liga was not able to offer the 12 million euros expected by OM for Ounahi. The Catalan club would have offered only 3 million euros to acquire 50% of the rights of the former Angevin.

Disagree between OM and Girona

According to Foot Mercato, OM then had the idea of an exchange between Ounahi and Miguel Gutierrez, the left side of Girona. A 24 -year -old who could have brought a quality solution to this position, after the departure of Quentin Merlin.

OM offered money in addition to Ounahi, but the two clubs failed to find common ground. Girona had very high expectations for her player, and for good reason. Foot Mercato indicates that Miguel Gutierrez will sign in Naples against a check for 20 million euros.
