At the heart of a particularly eventful season, this will have represented one piece of bad news among many others. Bilal Nadir, 22, a promising Franco-Moroccan midfielder, has decided not to extend his contract with Olympique de Marseille. And this despite having obtained significant playing time under the orders of Roberto De Zerbi, with notable tenures and frequent entries. This was not enough to retain the player, who opted for a free departure at the end of his contract.
At the beginning of June, we revealed that it was the Bundesliga which was monitoring the player most closely. Several clubs noted that his qualities matched what the German championship requires. And according to information from Sky Germanyit was Hamburg who landed the player’s deal.

A total agreement was found between Bilal Nadir and Hamburg, with a contract until 2029. The medical examination would even be scheduled for this Wednesday. Hamburg, a historic Bundesliga club, wants to maintain its place in the elite, after having managed to maintain this season for its return to the Bundesliga. And he has been very active in the transfer window for several weeks. He has just announced the arrival, also free, of striker Patson Daka from Leicester.
The northern German club also exercised the option for Albert Gronbaek, who had been on loan from Stade Rennais, and doubled the competition for Troyes midfielder Martin Adeline, recruited for €4 million. Bilal Nadir is added to this first burst of arrivals. It is now up to him to definitively launch his career in the Bundesliga.
