Despite some injury problems, Bilal Nadir played 28 competitive games (4 assists) for Olympique Marseille in 2025/26. Especially at the end of the season, the 22-year-old midfielder probably had less of a chance because he did not extend his contract and is aiming for a new start without a transfer. A duo from the German Bundesliga, VfB Stuttgart and Eintracht Frankfurt, are said to be interested.
As “fussballdaten.de” has learned, it is becoming increasingly apparent that Bilal Nadir will leave Olympique Marseille. Accordingly, the talks about further cooperation have come to a standstill, OM is said to have come to the conclusion that it would be better to let the Moroccan go in order to reduce salary costs and make room in the budget for new recruits.
A circumstance that should in turn play into the hands of VfB Stuttgart and Eintracht Frankfurt. The duo from the German Bundesliga are reportedly among the clubs that have their eye on Nadir.
Although the midfielder, who was born in Nice, is also expected to arouse interest in England and France, the “most concrete advances” have so far allegedly been made by the Hesse and Swabians. The SGE is said to have already started initial discussions with the players.
VfB Stuttgart with a big advantage in the duel with Eintracht Frankfurt
Both Bundesliga clubs should also lure people with a good salary and bonus money.
Should there actually be a transfer duel between the two German clubs, the country has a big advantage: While the Swabians will be competing in the Champions League in 2026/27, Eintracht will have to make do without any appearances on the international stage in the coming season.
Where the future of Nadir will lie is still up in the air. However, there is no question that he will be interesting for many clubs as a free transfer player.
