An impressive World Cup campaign has forced Ounahi to decide on his next move.
Azzedine Ounahi has admitted he hasn’t decided on his future amid reports linking him with a move to Newcastle.
The 22-year-old was a key player for Morocco during their incredible World Cup campaign in Qatar. His physical performances helped stabilise Morocco’s midfield line as they reached the tournament’s semi-finals.
Several top teams have shown interest in signing Ounahi after the World Cup. According to Foot Mercato, Napoli are keen to move the Morocco international to Serie A.
Meanwhile, Newcastle have emerged as Ounahi’s most serious suitors in the Premier League. However, other English sides, including Leicester City, are also in the race to sign the Angers star.
Speaking to the Ligue 1 club’s official website, Ounahi opened up on his transfer situation.
“Today, we all know that there are interested clubs. It will be a choice to make, a choice that will be important for my career and above all to make the right choice,” he said.
“We don’t know how it will turn out yet. Am I going to sign and leave in January? Am I going to sign, stay and help the club and leave this summer? I do not know yet. I’m waiting for the days, weeks to come to make the right choice. I am in daily contact with the President.
“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 sports project, that’s where I’ll go.”
