Azzedine Ounahi has become one of the standout names of the season. The Moroccan midfielder is experiencing a sweet moment both at club and national team level, confirming a progression that had seemed to have stalled for a while.

His recent impact at the Africa Cup of Nations has further put him in the media spotlight. Two assists in three group stage matches have reinforced the feeling that Ounahi has regained the form that dazzled the world during the 2022 World Cup.

From World Cup promise to Girona stalwart

Ounahi's name was etched into collective memory after Morocco's historic performance at the World Cup in Qatar. That tournament established him as one of the most promising midfielders on the international scene, even receiving public praise from Luis Enrique for his personality and quality on the ball. However, the subsequent years fell short of those expectations.

After an inconsistent period, last summer marked a turning point. Girona decisively bet on the Moroccan, investing around six million euros in his signing. Since arriving at Montilivi, Ounahi has found an ideal environment to regain confidence, consistency, and prominence, becoming a key piece in midfield.

In LaLiga, his performance is one of the main reasons behind Girona's current campaign. His ability to break lines, link up in tight spaces, and provide creativity between the lines has given the team a qualitative leap. It is no longer just sporadic flashes of brilliance but a consistency that had been demanded for some time.

The Africa Cup of Nations as the definitive showcase

If his season at Girona was already positive, the Africa Cup of Nations has increased his value. With Morocco, Ounahi has assumed a leading role, displaying tactical maturity and a game reading that goes beyond technical quality. His two assists in the group stage reflect his direct influence in the offensive play of the African team.

This tournament is serving as a top-level showcase. Clubs from the major European leagues are closely monitoring his performances, aware that he is a complete midfielder with room for improvement and international experience despite being 25 years old. The general feeling is that Ounahi is once again the standout player who seemed destined for a significant leap in his career.

From the player's circle, there is a sense of calm but also satisfaction at having rediscovered positive feelings. Continuity and confidence have been key in explaining this footballing resurgence that is now attracting interest beyond Girona.

Atlético Takes Notice and Price Soars

Among the clubs closely watching his progress, Atlético Madrid stands out. The rojiblanco outfit has been scouring the market for a midfielder capable of dictating the game's pace, breaking lines, and providing creativity, a profile that aligns with that of the Moroccan international.

The Metropolitano particularly values his versatility and his ability to adapt to demanding environments, as he has demonstrated both in LaLiga and with his national team. However, the growing interest and his excellent performances have led to a significant increase in his market value. What seemed like a feasible deal months ago has now become considerably more expensive.

Information from the market environment suggests that the transfer could exceed 20 million euros, a substantial figure for a player recently acquired by Girona. The Catalan club is aware that they have a highly sought-after asset and are in no rush to sell, especially if Ounahi maintains this level.

The Moroccan has returned to the limelight with performances that attest to his talent. Now, the next step will depend on whether any of the big clubs decide to make a strong bet on a player who, once again, appears to be the midfielder who amazed the world.
