A hot topic: Ounahi and Girona's (somewhat too) timid offer

Alright, friends, let's talk frankly about what's got everyone talking around the Velodrome: Girona's offer for Azzedine Ounahi. Did you see the news? 3 million euros for 50% of the Moroccan player's rights... Seriously, who could have thought the Olympian management would accept that? We're talking about a player bought for 10 million from Angers, still under contract until 2027, and they come up with an almost insulting proposal.

OM's stance: no question of selling Ounahi cheaply

On our side, the management isn't joking. We're asking for 12 million euros, clear and simple. Does that seem high to you? Honestly, given the inflation in the market, it's reasonable for a 24-year-old Moroccan international, who played 24 games last season. Even if De Zerbi doesn't consider him indispensable, the club doesn't want to settle for a big loss, especially after the winter 2023 investment. Makes sense, right?

Girona and the City Football Group: an offer to be reviewed?

Let's not fool ourselves, Girona, owned by the City Football Group, has resources. But their initial approach is more about testing the waters than anything else. Do you think it's a strategy or just an underestimation of our player's value? In any case, for now, there's no agreement in sight, nor even advanced negotiations. So, will Girona come back with a better offer? Or will another club step in? Tell us what you think!

Ounahi, a prospect for the future or an asset to sell?

Here's the real question: should we absolutely sell Ounahi or count on one more season with him? He's not central to De Zerbi's project, but he's still young, versatile, and has room for improvement. Financially, we understand Longoria wanting to recoup the investment, but parting with a technical profile like that might be premature... What would you do in the management's place?

We're waiting for your opinions!

So, do we keep Ounahi, sell him at any price, or wait for the bids to rise? Come and debate with us in the comments, friends. We're all concerned about the future of our OM and every opinion counts!
