Atletico Madrid join race for Morocco star Azzedine Ounahi

Spanish giants Atletico Madrid have joined the growing list of clubs interested in signing Morocco midfielder Azzedine Ounahi.

However, according to the same sources, Dutch club Ajax remain the team currently closest to securing a deal for the Morocco international.

Ounahi’s future has attracted increasing interest as clubs across Europe monitor the midfielder, who has established himself as an important player for the Atlas Lions.

Ajax lead the race

While Atletico Madrid have emerged as the latest club linked with Ounahi, Ajax are reportedly in the strongest position to complete the transfer.

The Dutch giants are currently considered the closest to reaching an agreement for the Morocco midfielder, although Atletico’s interest could add another dimension to the race for his signature.

For Ounahi, a move to either club would offer another opportunity to continue his career at the highest level of European football.
