Morocco central midfielder Azzedine Ounahi is being linked with a switch from Girona to fellow La Liga side Celta de Vigo, with the 26-year-old’s situation attracting increasing transfer speculation in Spain.
The Girona No 18, valued at €10.00m on Transfermarkt, is understood to be on Celta’s radar as they look to reshape their midfield options. With no public details over the length of his deal in Catalonia and no listed contract expiry, observers have suggested Girona could eventually face a decision between a sale or risking the playmaker edging towards free‑agent territory.
Ounahi, born in Casablanca on 19 April 2000 and standing at 1.82m, operates primarily as a central midfielder and is right-footed. The Morocco international has built a reputation as a technically tidy link player, comfortable receiving under pressure and progressing possession through midfield.
The latest rumours, logged on 16 June 2026 with the probability of a move still officially listed as “?”, indicate that talks are at an exploratory stage rather than an advanced negotiation. Any deal would be expected to use his €10.00m market valuation as a reference point rather than a fixed fee.
The Girona midfielder’s recent displays in La Liga have underpinned the interest. In his most recent outing – a league fixture for Girona earlier this month (exact opponent and date not disclosed in the data) – Ounahi featured in central midfield in a match that ended in a tight scoreline, again showcasing his distribution and work rate over the 90 minutes.
A move within Spain would keep Ounahi in a league he knows well and could offer Celta a creative presence between the lines. Should the transfer materialise, it would represent a significant next step in his career and a fresh platform to reinforce his reputation as one of Morocco’s leading midfielders.
