Grasshoppers are being linked with a move for Nacional’s Tunisian central midfielder Chiheb Labidi, with the 24-year-old potentially available as a free agent.
Reports from Portugal and Switzerland, reflected in transfer data updated on 7 April 2026, suggest the Super League side are monitoring Labidi’s situation at CD Nacional, where his contract details are not publicly disclosed and no expiry date is listed. That has fuelled speculation that the former Liga Portugal midfielder could be signed on a free if his deal has expired or runs down.
Labidi, valued at around €500,000 on Transfermarkt, is a left-footed central midfielder standing at 1.90m. He has been operating primarily in the middle of the park for Nacional, wearing the number 15 shirt. The latest rumour places the probability of a move to Grasshoppers as unclear, with the listing simply marked “?” rather than attaching any firm likelihood to the transfer.
Born on 1 June 2001, Labidi is a Tunisia international by nationality and has built his senior club career in Portugal with Nacional in Liga Portugal. Detailed contract information, including the date he joined and the length of his current deal, is not available, adding to the sense that he could become or already be a free agent if Nacional do not move to secure his future.
Recent match data from the current campaign is limited in the publicly available record, with no verified breakdown of goals, assists or specific fixtures specifying opposition, dates or scorelines. What is clear is that Labidi has been used in central midfield and is regarded as a physically imposing option capable of operating in a more traditional central role rather than wide or advanced positions.
Grasshoppers are expected to continue monitoring the situation, with any move to Switzerland likely to be seen as a significant step in Labidi’s European career and a chance to enhance his reputation in a top-flight league if the proposed transfer materialises.
