Algeria is reportedly making significant progress in persuading Olympique Marseille midfielder Bilal Nadir to represent the Les Fennecs at the international level.
Nadir, who has both Moroccan and Algerian heritage, previously played for Morocco’s U23 team. However, he is now seriously considering switching allegiances to Algeria, where he may have a clearer path to securing a starting position.
According to reports, the Algerian Football Federation has intensified its efforts to recruit the young talent, with discussions advancing rapidly.
The midfielder is said to be carefully evaluating his options as Algeria’s interest grows.
Marseille teammate Ismaël Bennacer could play a key role in influencing Nadir’s decision.
The Algerian international is reportedly in talks with Nadir and his family, aiming to facilitate the transition and encourage him to commit to Les Fennecs ahead of the next FIFA international break.
Nadir has made 14 appearances for Marseille in Ligue 1 this season, showcasing his potential at club level.
