What is happening?

Girona FC faces this summer market with its eyes on the possible departure of midfield star Azzedine Ounahi after strong interest from Juventus of Turin. The Catalan club, currently 19th in LaLiga with 41 points (9W‑14D‑15L) and a recent run of 0‑W‑3‑D‑2‑L, knows any offer must be substantial.

Why does Juventus want Ounahi?

According to transfer journalist Nicolò Schira, Juventus aims to bolster its midfield with the Moroccan international, who stood out during the 2025‑26 season despite the team's relegation. Ounahi contributed goals and assists in key matches, helping Girona score 39 goals while conceding 55, leaving a -16 goal difference.

How does Girona respond?

Girona has made it clear it will not accept a cheap exit. The board, led by president Joan Carles Sánchez, has stated any negotiation will involve a high‑value transfer fee. So far no formal bid has arrived, and the club remains firm, noting Ounahi was a reference for the side in the campaign that ended 1‑1 against Elche on May 23, 2026.

What lies ahead?

As the market progresses, Girona's priority will be to secure the resources needed to return to LaLiga Hypermotion. Selling Ounahi could provide a significant financial boost, but also a sporting blow. With a 53‑point gap to leaders Barcelona, the team needs reinforcements to climb the table. Until Juventus presents a proposal that meets Girona's demands, the midfielder's future will stay among the summer's hottest topics.
