Leaving to revive in Greece, Azzedine Ounahi will come back from loan this summer on the side of Olympique de Marseille. Will Roberto de Zerbi count on the Moroccan international? OM could also look for a new exit door.
Arrived at the winter of 2023 after a sparkling Qatar World Cup, Azzedine Ounahi was unable to win on OM. The young Moroccan (24) is currently on loan from the Panathinaïkós side in Greece. The former SCO of Angers found playing time on the side of Athens. Outside the first three days of Ligue 1, the Marseillais played more than 2,228 minutes this season with the Greek club all competitions. With 13 points behind the leader L’Olympiakos with only four games to play in the play-offs, it will be hard for Ounahi to hang one more line in his record this season. A loan that allowed him to find the Moroccan selection. As the end of the season approaches, the question on the rest of his career arises. Will Roberto de Zerbi count on him later?
OM thinks of a sale
During its loan, the Olympian leaders had set a purchase option at 11 million euros. However, Panathinaïkós does not seem ready to lift the option, deeming the top player irregular (four goals and seven assists). However, the Greek club hopes to extend its one year loan according to the Greek media. For several weeks, Saudi clubs have inquired. According to Footmercato, OM hopes to get 12 million euros. The former Angevin also has the African Cup of Nations in Morocco in late 2025. The choices of summer will therefore be important for the player. Seeing him stay at OM seems unlikely. The Club of the Marseille city is looking for liquidity. Roberto de Zerbi does not seem to count on his profile next season.
