For several weeks, OM and Panathinaikos have been trying to find a solution for the transfer of Azzedine Ounahi. Loaned to the PAOK, the Moroccan midfielder was the best player of the 2024-2025 season. But for the Greek club, it is impossible to align with the 11 million euros provided in its purchase option. Negotiations have started to try to reduce the cost of the operation but OM is inflexible, even enhanced its market price at 12 million euros. Faced with this dead end, the PAOK drawn in France, but opposite to Marseille! Seduced by the experience and leadership of Pedro Chirivella, the Pana offered the services of the FC Nantes midfielder. An operation much cheaper than the Ounahi file since an agreement would have been found up to 2 million euros. As a reminder, Pedro Chirivella had only one year of contract in Nantes.
