Azzedine Ounahi, loaned to Panathinaikos by OM, is recovering well and could stay in Greece, but the purchase option of 11 million euros seems too high for the Greek club. According to Greek journalist Bill Kozikopoulos, Panathinaikos would prefer a new loan with a reduced purchase option…
Currently on loan to Panathinaikos by Olympique de Marseille, Azzedine Ounahi found good performances, which pushes the Greek club to consider keeping him at the end of the season. However, several obstacles make this purchase complicated, in particular the amount of the purchase option set at 11 million euros. While it was rumored that the purchase option could be exercised at the end of the season, a Greek journalist made it clear that it was not! The Ounahi file is far from being resolved…

Ounahi will not leave for €11M!
Ounahi, who had become unwanted at OM, was loaned to Panathinaikos for €500,000 with a purchase option for €11 million. Although he became a starter and scored a goal and an assist in 19 appearances, Panathinaikos does not plan to pay this sum. Questioned by La Provence, the Greek journalist Bill Kozikopoulos explained: “There is no chance that Panathinaikos will one day give the €11.5 million […] The 'Pana' would rather like to keep Ounahi around a new loan with a purchase option halved and a large percentage on resale. There is also the will of the player, and from what we know, Azzedine is not sure he wants to stay in Greece. »
Ounahi is aiming for something other than the Greek championship? Qatar?
The player, not sure if he wants to stay in Greece, could consider other avenues, including a possible transfer to Qataran option he had already considered this summer. On the side of OM, where it was acquired for 8 million euros in January 2023, we now hope for a positive outcome in order to recover part of the investment made.
