Azzedine Ounahi, one of the World Cup figures, is on the FC Barcelona agenda

Perhaps no one or very few had him on the list of players who could stand out in the Qatar 2022 World Cup, but the truth is that Azzedine Ounahi has excelled in Morocco’s national team matches. The performance of the footballer who plays for Angers has captured the attention of several clubs and one of them is FC Barcelona.

The entity, according to information from the newspaper Mundo Deportivo, has the Moroccan ‘8’ in orbit, and thinks of him as a potential signing for the European winter market, that is, in January. “His name has positively surprised and it is already on the table. Moreover, they are following it with interest and the possibility of probing its incorporation has been raised ”reported the aforementioned media.

Ounahi, whose value is 3.5 million euros, according to the Transfermarkt portal, surprised Luis Enrique in the match between Spain and Morocco, for the round of 16 of the World Cup. The coach, after the commitment that ended with the victory of the Africans in a penalty shootout, praised him at a press conference.

“I was pleasantly surprised by number 8, I don’t remember what the name is, I’m sorry. Oh my gosh! Where did that boy come from? He plays very well. Achraf and Ziyech are obvious, En-Nesyri we know well, Amrabat we know too. But this boy has not stopped running. We have discussed it in the ‘staff’. Spectacular”, said the technician.

Angers does not rule out Ounahi’s departure

The president of SCO Angers, Said Chabane, declared on Sunday night at RMC that he was preparing for the departure of Azzedine Ounahi and Sofiane Boufal, another of Morocco’s figures, from the club during the next transfer window, in January or June. .

“We are preparing for everything, we have had a meeting this afternoon (Sunday) with the coach and the sports coordinator to try to anticipate all possible scenarios and not find ourselves in the lurch if that happens”declared Chabane about the possible departure of his players.
