Azzedine Ounahi believes his future should be outside Olympique Marseille.
Tensions evident in Ounahi's future with Olympique Marseille
Moroccan international Azzedine Ounahi is having a tough time with French side Olympique Marseille, as the player has not been part of Italian coach Roberto Di Zerbi's plans for the past period of time and now seems to be considering a new real experience with a new team.
According to African sources close to the Moroccan player and his surroundings, it seems that the player is seriously considering a new experience and the main reason is the personal dispute between him and the management of the French club.
Despite tempting bids from Gulf clubs, Olympique Marseille's midfield star Azzedine Ounahi has turned them all down. The Moroccan international remains determined to continue his European journey, with La Liga's Girona emerging as his preferred destination, Africafoot can reveal.
Russia, Turkey, and even UK clubs have approached Marseille, but Ounahi stands firm: he’ll only join a competitive league that preserves his form ahead of AFCON 2025 and World Cup qualifiers.
So committed is the Atlas Lion to his sporting ambitions that he’s reportedly willing to stay sidelined at Marseille—even training with reserves—rather than compromise his career for financial gain.
As he awaits a Spanish opportunity, Ounahi trains intensely, hoping for a breakthrough in the coming weeks.
