Several European clubs, including Leeds United in England, are monitoring the situation of Bilal Nadir, a 22-year-old French-Moroccan Olympique de Marseille midfielder who is re-evaluating his future. The French clubs Rennes, Strasbourg, and Lens are also following his progress, and Villarreal and Sevilla in Spain are also interested. It is reported that these teams appreciate Nadir's technical profile, his ability to operate between the lines, and his ease in tight spaces.

The player was at one point close to an agreement in principle to extend his contract with Marseille but has now suspended any final decision because of significant internal changes at the club, as he seeks more clarity on his future role. Nadir joined Marseille in July 2023, has a contract that runs until June 2026, and has a current market value of €9.00m according to Transfermarkt. He has not yet been capped by the Moroccan national team.
