Leeds United Keeping Tabs On 22-Year-Old For Free Transfer: What Does He Offer The Whites?

Leeds United are keeping a close watch on Marseille midfielder Bilal Nadir ahead of the 2026/27 season, with the 22-year-old preparing to become a free agent when his contract expires in June 2026. Africa Foot and Sport Witness both confirm that Daniel Farke’s side have thrown their hat into the ring, using the lure of the Premier League to attract the France-born Morocco Under-23 international.

Leeds United set their sights on free agent Bilal Nadir for a summer move

Nadir’s representatives are looking for a net salary of €1.2 million per year alongside a €2.5 million signing-on bonus, figures Leeds should comfortably meet. The player, valued at €9 million on Transfermarkt, is looking for consistent game time and a meaningful role rather than sitting on the sidelines.

Several structural changes at Marseille have sped up his departure, with manager Roberto De Zerbi, president Pablo Longoria, and sporting director Medhi Benatia all exiting the club. RC Strasbourg, Girona, and Villarreal are keeping tabs on him closely, creating a real fight for his signature. This season, Nadir has picked up one goal and five assists across 862 minutes in 28 appearances, though three separate injuries, including a hamstring problem since 19 April, have stunted his rhythm and forced him to miss seven matches.
