Moroccan star Izz El-Din Ounahi, midfielder of Girona club, is attracting the attention of many prominent Spanish clubs seeking to secure his services during the current summer transfer window. This growing interest follows the impressive performances the player has recently delivered, making him one of the most sought-after names in the transfer market. Real Betis, Villarreal, Celta Vigo, and Real Sociedad continue to closely monitor the player’s situation, believing in his high technical abilities including controlling the pace of the game, creating opportunities, in addition to his international experience gained with the Moroccan national team.
Press reports indicate that the anticipated offers to sign Izz El-Din Ounahi are a culmination of his outstanding performance with the “Atlas Lions” at the 2026 World Cup. This brilliance has contributed to increasing his market value and made him a primary target for many clubs looking to strengthen their midfield in preparation for the new football season.
For its part, Girona club appears open to the idea of letting go of its Moroccan star, especially after the team’s relegation to the second division. Club officials realize that retaining a player of Izz El-Din Ounahi’s stature will be a big challenge at this stage, pushing them to seek the best solutions to ensure the club’s financial and sporting stability.
Although the contract includes a release clause reaching 25 million euros, Girona’s management may agree to sell the player for about 20 million euros. This amount will provide the financial liquidity needed to rebuild the team and organize its affairs before the upcoming season. The Andalusian giants, Real Betis and Villarreal, stand out as the strongest candidates to win Ounahi’s services, especially with their expected participation in European competitions, which could give one of them an advantage in contract negotiations. Meanwhile, Celta Vigo offers the player a pivotal role in its squad, while Real Sociedad relies on its stable sporting project to persuade the Moroccan international to join it.
As the summer transfer window remains open, indicators increase suggesting Izz El-Din Ounahi will stay in the Spanish league competitions, but with a new club jersey that guarantees him continuity at a high level and maintains his technical readiness with the Moroccan national team in their upcoming commitments.
