Long considered a great hope at Olympique de Marseille, Bilal Boutobba has encountered a lot of difficulties since his departure. A few years later, the attacking midfielder returned to the French elite after relaunching in Ligue 2.
Fans of Olympique de Marseille inevitably remember Bilal Boutobba. This very young talent, considered a great hope, made fans salivate even before joining the first team. Finally, the attacking midfielder had decided to leave his training club at the age of 17, without signing his first professional contract there. An irrelevant choice since his passage through the reserve team of Sevilla FC was not satisfactory. No more than his two years spent in Montpellier.
Boutobba returns to Ligue 1
We had to wait for his departure to Niort in 2020 to see him shine. In Ligue 2, the native of Marseille has finally confirmed his potential. Evidenced by his 11 goals and 5 assists in the league this season. Enough to attract the attention of Clermont who took advantage of his end of contract to get him free this summer. A great opportunity that Bilal Boutobba intends to take advantage of. ” I am very happy to sign at Clermont Foot 63 “Reacted the winger after the formalization of his signature on Wednesday.

After three great seasons spent at the Chamois, I am happy to be back in Ligue 1. Now I will have to work even harder to be able to impose myself. I can’t wait to get back to training to discover my new partners and learn on a daily basis with all these experienced players.. “His reunion with Olympique de Marseille will surely be expected.
