Marseille’s young talent Bilal Nadi is set to seize the opportunity during the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations (CAN) to secure more game time with the club. Despite having limited appearances this season, the midfielder has caught the attention of coach Gennaro Gattuso.
Nadi, operating as a central midfielder, has made brief appearances under Gattuso’s guidance, accumulating 22 minutes across six starts. His recent performance against Lyon, where he came close to netting his inaugural professional goal in the midweek fixture that Marseille won 3-0, has further highlighted his potential.
Approaching the conclusion of his current contract, negotiations are underway between Marseille and the 20-year-old Moroccan prospect for a possible contract extension, according to reports from Foot Mercato.
The club aims to secure Nadi’s services, recognizing his promising talent and envisioning his role in compensating for the absence of key players departing for the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations.
Marseille views the young international hopeful as a valuable asset, particularly during the tournament when several key squad members will be on international duty.
The midfielder’s emergence this season has presented Marseille with a promising prospect, leading to discussions about extending his stay beyond the current season.
The club is keen to foster and harness Nadi’s potential as part of their future plans, considering his contributions and the role he could play in filling the void created by the absence of key players during the CAN.
