One of Morocco's star performers at the FIFA World Cup has reportedly emerged as a potential target for LaLiga giants FC Barcelona.
Azzedine Ounahi has been one of the Atlas Lions' key performers on their way to the semi-finals, where they eventually lost 2-0 to the defending champions France.
The Angers midfielder's display has now seemingly caught the eye some of Europe's bigger clubs, with Mundo Deportivo reporting that the Catalan giants have been impressed with the player.
The report claims that Ounahi has been viewed an alternative to Manchester City duo Bernardo Silva and Illkay Gundogan, who might be harder to prize away from the Etihad.
Ounahi's former coach Frédéric Reculeau believes Barcelona would be a good destination for the 22-year-old.
"For me, it is the ideal club for him. His game is adapted to the Spanish division," Reculeau told Eurosport.
"Could he make it in other championships? Yes, but I would have more doubts because of the physical challenge.
"Either way, I see him more at Barcelona than elsewhere. The more he plays in a team with high potential, the more his talent will be apparent," he said.
