News Official statement New plan
  • Panathinaikos re-signed Morocco midfielder Azzedine Ounahi from Spanish club Girona on a four-year contract.
  • Ounahi previously spent the 2024-25 season on loan at Panathinaikos, making 37 appearances, scoring five goals and providing seven assists.
  • The club said the popular midfielder would strengthen its squad as it pursues the top of Greek football.

Azzedine Ounahi is back in Athens, and Panathinaikos are presenting his return as something far more personal than a routine transfer.

The 26-year-old Moroccan midfielder has signed a four-year contract after joining from Girona. He already knows the club and the Greek league, having played for Panathinaikos last season on loan. His return gives the team another option in midfield as it aims for the top.

Ounahi quickly became a favorite among the club’s supporters during his previous spell. He made 37 appearances, scored five goals and supplied seven assists, producing the kind of performances that left a lasting impression on the green-shirted crowd.

Panathinaikos tried to keep him in the summer of 2025, but Ounahi moved to Girona instead. He also impressed in La Liga, yet the relationship with Panathinaikos was not finished. The club’s announcement called him “a much-loved figure among the green stands” and said he was returning to strengthen the team’s push for first place.

Ounahi’s career has also included spells with Strasbourg, Avranches, Angers and Marseille. His performances at the 2022 World Cup helped Morocco reach fourth place, the best finish by an African team at the tournament, and established him as an internationally recognized midfielder.
