Moroccan midfielder Azzedine Ounahi, one of the great revelations of the 2022 Qatar World Cup, has been loaned by Olympique de Marseille to Panathinaikos, with a purchase option valued at 11 million euros. Ounahi, 24, stood out in Morocco's historic campaign in that tournament, leading his team to the semifinals and catching the attention of several European clubs. He was instrumental in Spain's elimination in the round of 16, earning recognition from figures like Luis Enrique, who was then the Spanish national team's coach.

Needs trust and playing time to regain his form

Olympique de Marseille signed him in January 2023, paying 10 million euros to Angers, the bottom team in Ligue 1. However, his time at the French club did not meet expectations. Despite a promising debut with a goal against Nantes, injuries and inconsistency kept him out of favor with several coaches at the club.

Now, at Panathinaikos, under the guidance of coach Diego Alonso and alongside young talents like Facundo Pellistri, Ounahi aims to revive his career that has seemed stagnant since the World Cup. Despite his physical issues and struggles fitting into Marseille's systems, his talent remains undeniable. The Moroccan midfielder will strive to rediscover his best form in Greece, proving that his outstanding performance in Qatar was not just a flash in the pan.
