1.FC Nuremberg are being linked with a move for SC Verl right-back Oualid Mhamdi, with the probability of a deal currently rated at 46%.
The 22-year-old defender, who holds both Moroccan and German nationality, is attracting interest from the 2. Bundesliga side after his performances in Germany’s 3. Liga for Verl. Data from Transfermarkt lists his market value at €450,000, a figure that is likely to form the basis of any negotiations between the clubs.
Mhamdi is contracted to SC Verl with no publicly stated expiry date, raising the prospect that he could run down his deal and become a free agent in a future window if no agreement is reached. For Nuremberg, that scenario would make the move potentially more economical, while Verl may be under pressure not to lose one of their key assets for nothing.
Primarily a defender at right-back and preferring his right foot, Mhamdi has been operating in the 3. Liga, where SC Verl compete. Born on 20 May 2003 in Eschweiler and standing at 1.86m, he offers a blend of height and mobility in wide defensive areas, attributes that are likely to appeal to a Nuremberg side looking to consolidate in the second tier.
Recent match data shows Mhamdi featuring for Verl in 3. Liga action, including their latest fixture in May 2026, where he played at right-back in a narrow league encounter, contributing defensively as Verl continued their push for stability in the division. His performances at that level are understood to be central to Nuremberg’s interest.
With dual eligibility for Morocco and Germany and a growing profile in the German system, a step up to the 2. Bundesliga could mark a significant phase in Mhamdi’s development, potentially shaping both his club career trajectory and his future international prospects if the move materialises.
