El Kaabi is also on Marseille's radar.
A Spanish club has moved into the race to sign Moroccan striker Ayoub El Kaabi after a standout showing with Morocco at the Africa Cup of Nations.
He has netted three goals so far, turning heads as one of the tournament’s standout performers.
According to Morocco Sport, Girona are watching the forward and are keen to bring him in.
El Kaabi is under contract with Olympiakos of Greece, which expires next summer, potentially pushing his club to accept a winter offer to avoid losing him for free.
Earlier reports said Marseille were also interested, with Egyptian giants Al Ahly among other suitors.
Morocco prepare to face Tanzania in the Round of 16 at AFCON 2025.
If he scores fast, Girona might need a bigger notebook.
And if the transfer stalls, at least the popcorn vendor will profit.
