Atlético Madrid target Girona midfielder Azzedine Ounahi

Atlético Madrid are preparing a move for Moroccan midfielder Azzedine Ounahi, with the Girona player emerging as a key target ahead of the summer transfer window.

The 24-year-old, Azzedine Ounahi, has attracted growing attention after a strong season in La Liga with Girona FC, where his performances have included several decisive contributions in midfield.

According to reports, including from Fichajes, Atletico Madrid have now added Ounahi to their shortlist as they look to strengthen their squad options ahead of next season.

His form has reportedly also drawn attention from scouts at Real Madrid, who are monitoring midfield reinforcements for the future, further increasing competition for his signature.

Ounahi’s technical ability, movement between lines and capacity to influence attacking phases have made him one of Girona’s most consistent performers this season.

His contributions have not gone unnoticed as the club continues to push for stability and progress in La Liga.

The midfielder is understood to have a release clause in the region of €20 million, a figure considered manageable for several top European clubs.

Despite this, Girona are keen to retain him as a key part of their long-term project.

Under contract until 2030, Ounahi remains firmly integrated into the club’s plans, and any potential move is expected to require careful negotiation.

Girona’s stance suggests they are not under immediate pressure to sell, which could influence the timing and structure of any deal.

As the summer window approaches, interest in the Moroccan international is expected to intensify, with Atlético Madrid among the clubs assessing whether to make a formal move.

For Ounahi, the coming months could prove decisive as his performances continue to attract attention from some of Spain’s biggest sides, while Girona weigh up the challenge of keeping hold of one of their most influential midfielders.
