The Moroccan star Ezzedine Ounahi has officially returned to the ranks of the Greek club Panathinaikos, in a permanent transfer deal coming from the Spanish club Girona. This move brings the international player back to the Greek league where he previously shined, and confirms the club’s desire to strengthen its squad with top-tier players.
The Greek club announced today, Wednesday, the signing of a contract with Ounahi extending until June 30, 2030, putting an end to speculation about his future. This transfer confirms Ezzedine Ounahi’s return to his former team, with whom he had a successful loan spell in the 2024-2025 season, coming from French club Olympique Marseille, giving him the chance to continue building on his outstanding performances.
Press reports revealed that the deal was worth 15 million euros, with Girona retaining a percentage of future resale value of the player, reflecting Ounahi’s significant market value. It is expected that Ezzedine Ounahi will become the highest-paid player in the Greek league, if all formal procedures are completed, highlighting his great importance to Panathinaikos’ sporting project.
This return represents a new challenge for the Moroccan player, as he seeks to leave a strong mark and contribute to Panathinaikos’ ambitions both domestically and continentally. Ounahi aspires to continue his distinguished professional career outside Spain and affirm his status as one of the brightest talents in European football.
