New plan
- Girona signed Carles Pérez after Azzedine Ounahi returned to Panathinaikos.
- Pérez played for Aris on loan from Celta last season, making 27 appearances with one goal and one assist.
- Aris chose not to make his move permanent, and Pérez later left Celta as a free agent.
Girona moved quickly to fill the gap left by Azzedine Ounahi, who has returned to Panathinaikos in what the Greek club described as a historic transfer.
The Catalan side turned to a player familiar with Greek football: Carles Pérez. The 29-year-old attacking midfielder spent last season on loan at Aris from Celta.
His spell in Thessaloniki did not develop as he had hoped. Pérez made 27 appearances, scoring once and providing one assist, and Aris decided not to sign him permanently. After returning to Celta, he was left out of the club’s plans and eventually became a free agent. Girona announced his arrival on September 3, 2026.
