Oussama Tannane: Morocco-Netherlands Playmaker Leaves Umm Salal to Become Free Agent
Oussama Tannane has officially left Umm Salal SC to become a free agent, with the experienced attacking midfielder now listed as “Without Club” following the completion of his move from the Qatari Second Division side. The transfer was processed on 2026-07-01, with no transfer fee involved and his status changing immediately to that of an unattached player.
The 32-year-old, valued at €1.00m at the time of his departure, exits Umm Salal after the conclusion of his contract, stepping into the open market and making himself available for new opportunities. His new “club” designation is effectively a registration status rather than a team, confirming that he is no longer tied to a professional employer and is free to negotiate with interested sides.
Tannane’s contract with Umm Salal ran until 2026-07-01, with the agreement expiring on that date and no extension being recorded. With no fee registered for the move, the separation represents a straightforward end-of-contract departure rather than a traditional transfer between two competitive clubs or leagues.
Born in Tétouan on 23 Mar 1994, Tannane brings with him the profile of a technically gifted left-footed attacking midfielder. Standing at 1.74m and comfortable operating in the central attacking midfield role, he has built a career on creativity between the lines, set-piece threat and the ability to unlock defences. His dual nationality – Morocco and Netherlands – has long made him an intriguing figure on the international scene, reflecting both North African and European football cultures in his style of play.
While his most recent football came in the Qatari Second Division with Umm Salal SC, the move to a “Without Club” status now places him outside any domestic or international league structure. The official destination league is listed as “N/A”, underlining that he is not currently registered to compete in an organised top-tier or second-tier competition in any country.
Tannane’s market value of €1.00m underscores that, despite stepping into free agency, he still retains a measurable worth in the transfer market, particularly for clubs seeking an experienced creative midfielder without the burden of a transfer fee. His age and profile suggest he could still contribute at a competitive level, especially in systems that prioritise technical quality and playmaking.
No recent match details, appearance numbers or statistical breakdowns from his final season at Umm Salal are provided in the available data, and there is no record here of goals, assists or standout performances in specific fixtures. Likewise, there is no documented reaction from supporters in Morocco, the Netherlands or Qatar to his departure, and no commentary from local or international media referenced in the information at hand.
For now, Tannane’s future remains open. As a free agent with a clear contract end date of 2026-07-01 and no current employer, his next move will determine whether he returns closer to his roots in Morocco or the Netherlands, or continues his career abroad in a new footballing environment.
