The future of Azzedine Ounahi has taken another twist after PSV Eindhoven reportedly submitted a formal offer to Girona for the Moroccan international.
According to Mundo Deportivo, PSV have moved to the front of the race for the 26-year-old midfielder and are already in talks with Girona over a potential transfer.
PSV Push for Ounahi
PSV are reportedly keen to reach an agreement before other interested clubs intensify their pursuit.
The Dutch side are not expected to activate Ounahi’s €25 million release clause, instead preferring to negotiate directly with Girona over a transfer fee.
Girona, meanwhile, are hoping to secure significant financial compensation for the midfielder, whose future has become increasingly uncertain following the club’s relegation.
Conflicting Reports From the Netherlands
Despite the claims from Spain, reports from the Netherlands have painted a different picture.
Jeroen Kapteijns of De Telegraaf reported that PSV are not currently pushing to sign Ounahi.
The midfielder had previously been on the club’s shortlist, but the arrivals of Kodai Sano and Sven Mijnans have reportedly strengthened PSV’s midfield options and reduced the need for another signing in the position.
Dutch outlet FootballTransfers has also reported that Ounahi is no longer considered an active target, citing several sources in the Netherlands.
The contrasting reports leave the situation unclear, with Mundo Deportivo claiming that a formal offer has been made while Dutch sources question whether PSV are actively pursuing the deal.
Ajax and Other Clubs Watching
PSV are not the only club linked with the Moroccan midfielder.
Ajax have previously shown strong interest in Ounahi, while Mundo Deportivo has also mentioned Hull City, Ipswich Town and Al-Ittihad among the clubs that have monitored his situation.
With the transfer window approaching its final stages, Ounahi’s next destination remains uncertain.
Another Twist in Ounahi’s Future
Ounahi returned to Girona after representing Morocco at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, but his future has remained one of the major transfer stories surrounding the club.
Whether PSV’s reported offer develops into serious negotiations or the Dutch club ultimately steps away, one thing is clear: the race for Ounahi is far from over.
