Azzedine Ounahi’s future with Panathinaikos hangs in the balance as Olympique Marseille faces resistance in their transfer negotiations.
Initially expected to secure a permanent move to Greece, the Moroccan international’s transfer has taken an unexpected twist this winter.
Despite Ounahi’s commendable performances on loan — tallying two goals and an assist in 20 appearances — Panathinaikos is reluctant to meet the €11.5 million purchase option set by OM. According to La Tribune OM, the Greek club is pressing for a reduced fee, proposing a deal between €6 and €7 million, bonuses included.
However, OM president Pablo Longoria and his management team remain firm, unwilling to compromise on their valuation. If no agreement is reached, Ounahi might return to Marseille at the end of the season.
This impasse leaves questions about the midfielder’s future as the January transfer window unfolds. Will Panathinaikos and OM find common ground, or will Ounahi’s journey take another turn? The coming weeks promise to be decisive for the talented Moroccan star.
