OM are still in the race to sign Azzedine Ounahi. The Moroccan midfielder is also coveted by Napoli and Inter Milan, while Barcelona are believed to have their eye on him and Leicester could offer 45 million euros to snatch him. Suffice to say that the margin is narrow. The player, he spoke about his future on … the Angers official website. A rather transparent approach which should be underlined. And it does not close any door:
“To be clear with everyone, I have no preference for this or that championship because I look at the sporting project, the interest of the club but also my own. If there is a real sporting project, it that’s where I’m going”.
During this interview, the player also mentioned the possibility of signing for another team in January but being loaned to Angers until the end of the year. An option that is not in OM’s plans: the Marseille club needs an element in this sector of play with the injury of Amine Harit and the probable departure of Gerson. The financial and sporting situation of the Marseille club does not allow us to think of medium-term moves. Still, OM have a great project to offer Ounahi, which could blend in perfectly with what Igor Tudor is asking for, alongside why not Dimitri Payet and Alexis Sanchez.
