Foreign media reports indicate that the Spanish club Espanyol has entered strongly into negotiations to sign Moroccan international Azeddine Ounahi, a midfielder for French club Olympique Marseille, in a move that reflects the seriousness of the Catalan club to strengthen its squad before the new season in La Liga.

Ounahi, who is 25 years old, has attracted the attention of several European clubs due to his high technical skills and distinctive tactical vision, making him a prominent figure in the Moroccan national team in recent years.

According to the same sources, Espanyol is closely monitoring the player's situation, with the possibility of opening official negotiations with Marseille's management in the coming weeks, especially with the club's desire to acquire a midfielder with international experience and skills that suit La Liga's style.

Despite previous interest from Girona, current indications suggest that Espanyol's offer appears to be more serious and organized, as the Catalan team seeks to make quality signings to enhance its position in the league.

On the other hand, Marseille does not seem to be holding onto the player, as he is no longer considered one of the key pillars in the club's project, making his departure this summer a likely possibility.

Considering the nature of La Liga, which prioritizes technique and positioning, a transfer for Ounahi to Espanyol or even Girona could represent an ideal opportunity for him to regain his brilliance before participating in the Africa Cup of Nations, scheduled to take place in Morocco at the end of this year.
