” Good luck Azzedine Ounahi. Moroccan midfielder Azzedine Ounahi leaves Olympique de Marseille on loan with an option to buy and joins Greek club Panathinaikos“, we can read in a brief official statement published by the club this Wednesday.
A great talent who did not live up to expectations
At 24 years old, Azzedine Ounahi will therefore try to relaunch himself in Greece in a club that recently validated its ticket for the first phase of the Europa Conference League by bringing down Racing Club de Lens. Despite a few brilliant moments, the Moroccan did not impose himself in Marseille.
Arriving in January 2023 from Angers in the wake of a remarkable World Cup (with a semi-final for Morocco), Ounahi has often had to settle for a joker role, when he has not been tossed between midfield and attack by his various coaches in Marseille. His technical quality has not been able to compensate for his inconsistency and athletic fragility. Marseille continues to slim down. The player had been placed in the “loft” by his management.
