Azzedine Ounahi transfer market updates with Panathinaikos emerging as a contender

With the summer transfer window nearing its conclusion, the future of 26-year-old midfielder Azzedine Ounahi has become a central focus. Recent reports confirm that PSV Eindhoven has withdrawn from the race to sign the Moroccan international, despite earlier speculation, as their midfield is already reinforced by the acquisitions of Sano and Meinans. Consequently, Panathinaikos has re-entered negotiations and has reportedly initiated a formal approach to sign the player from Girona.

Ounahi, who is currently under contract with Girona until 2030, remains a subject of intense interest from other clubs, including Ajax, as well as potential suitors from England and Saudi Arabia. Panathinaikos hopes that the player's prior experience with the club, Athens, and the Greek championship during the 2024-25 season will provide a competitive advantage. While Girona intends to move the player, the final decision remains pending as the transfer deadline approaches.
