Aston Villa are interested in signing the Moroccan midfielder Azzedine Ounahi at the end of the season.
According to a report from Sports Boom, the 26-year-old technically gifted midfielder has attracted the attention of top clubs with his performances in La Liga this season. It will be interesting to see if Girona is willing to sanction his departure.
He has a contract with them until 2030. The report claims the midfielder’s unofficial price tag could rise to €25 million in the summer. It remains to be seen whether Aston Villa is willing to pay up for him.

Villa could use Azzedine Ounahi
They are looking to add more creativity and technical ability in the middle of the park, and Ounahi would be a superb acquisition. Ounahi has been described as a player who combines “energy and technique”. The La Liga ace has eight goal contributions this season.
The 26-year-old is at the peak of his career, and this could be the right time for him to move to the Premier League and take on a new challenge.
Aston Villa is looking to secure Champions League qualification for the next season, and they could be an attractive destination for the player. They have quality players at their disposal and a proven manager like Unai Emery.

Ounahi could fancy a big move
The Moroccan International could be attracted to the idea of joining them if there is a concrete proposal on the table. The €25 million asking price is certainly affordable for the West Midlands club, and they should be able to get the deal done in the summer.
However, they will face competition from Atletico Madrid and Villarreal. It remains to be seen whether they can convince the 26-year-old midfielder to move to England rather than continue in Spain.
Ounahi has been linked with a move to England in the past.
