Manchester City are being linked with a move for Girona’s Moroccan central midfielder Azzedine Ounahi, whose future in La Liga is under fresh scrutiny amid uncertainty over his contract situation.
The 26-year-old, valued at €10.00m on Transfermarkt, is currently on the books at Girona and wears the number 18 shirt, but his contract expiry date is not listed, prompting speculation that he could become a free agent if no new deal is agreed. The latest rumour, dated 24 April 2026, has Ounahi moving from LaLiga to the Premier League champions, though the reported probability of the transfer is marked only as “?”, underlining that talks are, at this stage, purely speculative.
Born in Casablanca on 19 April 2000, the 1.82m right-footed midfielder has built a reputation as a technically-gifted central presence and is a full Morocco international. He operates primarily in central midfield, and any potential switch to Manchester would add depth and versatility to City’s engine room.
Ounahi has been part of Girona’s rise in Spain’s top flight, featuring in LaLiga this season, with his performances helping to maintain interest from major European clubs. While detailed contract terms at Girona remain undisclosed, the lack of a confirmed expiry date has fuelled talk that he could be targeted either for a cut‑price deal or, in due course, as a possible free agent if his situation is not resolved.
With his market value relatively modest by Premier League standards at €10.00m, Girona could face a decision over whether to cash in or risk losing him for nothing. If a move to Manchester City does materialise, it could mark the next step in Ounahi’s career, offering him a platform to enhance his reputation on both the English and European stage.
