Brighton eye Gironas Morocco midfielder Azzedine Ounahi in La Liga raid

Brighton are weighing up a move for Morocco international Azzedine Ounahi, with the 26yearold Girona midfielder emerging as a candidate to strengthen their Premier League midfield options.

Ounahi, who joined Girona from Marseille for around 6 million in August 2025, is under contract with the Spanish club until June 2030, meaning Brighton would likely need a significant offer to open negotiations. His current estimated value stands at about 10 million, and Gironas long-term deal places them in a strong position over any potential talks.

The Casablancaborn central midfielder has impressed in Spain, scoring five goals and providing three assists in 24 La Liga appearances for Girona, underlining his ability to contribute consistently from the centre of the pitch. His form has carried into the international stage this year, with two goals in six games for Morocco at the 2026 World Cup, where he started the majority of matches and featured heavily in minutes played.

Ounahis route to Girona has taken in Ligue 1 and European competition. After moving from Angers to Marseille in January 2023, he later spent time on loan at Panathinaikos, gaining Europa League and Conference League experience before returning to France and then securing his switch to Spain.

With Girona preparing for another campaign in Spains second tier and Brighton looking to reinforce ahead of the new Premier League season, the midfielders situation is being closely monitored. For now, Ounahi remains tied to Girona on a fouryear deal, leaving any transfer dependent on Brighton testing the resolve of the Catalan club.
