Azzedine Ounahi, a Moroccan midfielder, has joined Panathinaikos FC after leaving Girona FC in Spain. Former Ajax coach Míchel Sánchez worked with Ounahi at Girona and knew him well. Ajax had reportedly been interested in signing Ounahi for a long time, with technical director Jordi Cruijff even agreeing to a personal deal. However, PSV showed sudden interest in the Moroccan player, prompting a transfer battle. Panathinaikos FC worked with PSV to sign Ounahi, causing Ajax to withdraw from the transfer. In the end, Panathinaikos FC won the battle to sign Ounahi, who was presented by the Greek club on Wednesday evening.
