Azzedine Ounahi could be heading toward a new chapter this summer.

According to Cadena SER, the Moroccan midfielder is now very close to leaving Girona after being left out of the club’s squad for the opening match of the season.

The situation has intensified speculation over Ounahi’s future, with several clubs reportedly showing interest in securing his services.

Ajax Emerging as the Favorite

Ajax is currently considered Ounahi’s preferred destination, with the Dutch giants emerging as the strongest option for the Morocco international.

A move to Amsterdam could offer the midfielder an exciting new opportunity as he looks to establish himself at a club with a proud tradition of developing technically gifted players.

Three More Clubs in the Race

Ajax is not alone in monitoring Ounahi's situation.

Saudi Arabian side Al-Ittihad, English club Hull City, and Spanish giants Atlético Madrid are also reportedly interested in the Moroccan midfielder.

The growing list of suitors underlines the continued appeal of Ounahi, who remains an important member of Morocco's international setup.

Girona Set a €25 Million Price

Girona are reportedly demanding €25 million, corresponding to the player's release clause, to allow Ounahi to leave the club.

That figure could become an important factor as interested clubs evaluate a potential move before the summer transfer window closes.

A New Chapter on the Horizon

Ounahi's absence from Girona's match against Leganés, combined with uncertainty surrounding his place in the club's plans, has further fueled expectations of a departure.

For the Moroccan international, the coming weeks could therefore bring another significant turning point in his career.

With Ajax leading the race and several major clubs keeping a close eye on the situation, Ounahi's next destination could soon become one of the most intriguing Moroccan transfer stories of the summer.
