England duo ignite transfer race for Onahi
The race to sign Moroccan international midfielder Azzedine Onahi has intensified, with two Premier League giants now locked in a battle for his signature. According to reports, both clubs have stepped up their interest in the 2026 World Cup star, setting the stage for a high-profile transfer tug-of-war.
Onahi, who impressed during Morocco’s historic run at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, has been a key target for several European sides. However, the latest developments suggest that two English heavyweights are now leading the chase, with scouts from both clubs having closely monitored his performances this season.
The 24-year-old midfielder currently plays for Marseille in Ligue 1, where he has continued to showcase his technical ability and vision. His contract with the French club runs until 2026, but Marseille are reportedly open to negotiations if a suitable offer arrives.
Sources close to the player indicate that Onahi is aware of the interest from England and is considering his options. The Moroccan international is said to be keen on testing himself in the Premier League, which has only added fuel to the growing speculation.
Neither club has made an official approach yet, but insiders suggest that formal bids could be submitted during the upcoming transfer window. With the January market approaching, the battle for Onahi is expected to heat up significantly in the coming weeks.
Marseille have not commented on the reports, but club officials are believed to be preparing for potential offers. The French side values Onahi highly and will likely demand a substantial fee before agreeing to any deal.
For now, the ball remains in Marseille’s court. But with two of England’s biggest clubs circling, the next move could define the January window.
