Stuttgart are being linked with a move for NEC Nijmegen right midfielder Sami Ouaissa, with the Bundesliga club reportedly monitoring the €5.00m-rated Dutch-Moroccan ahead of a possible summer transfer.
The 21-year-old, who plays predominantly on the right of midfield and favours his left foot, is emerging as a potential target as Stuttgart assess wide options for next season. The speculation comes with uncertainty around Ouaissa’s contract status at NEC, with no expiry date publicly listed, raising the prospect that his deal could be running down and a future free-agent scenario cannot be ruled out.
Ouaissa, born on 2 October 2004 in Hoensbroek, has developed at NEC into a tall, rangy winger, standing at 1.86m and wearing the number 25 shirt for the Eredivisie side. His performances in the Dutch top flight have begun to attract attention beyond the Netherlands, with the Bundesliga a logical next step for a player combining physical presence with technical ability.
The latest update, logged on 18 May 2026, lists his market value at €5.00m, a figure that would represent a relatively low-risk investment for Stuttgart should they decide to formalise their interest. The reported probability of a move is currently marked only as “?”, underlining that talks, if any, remain at an early and speculative stage.
Ouaissa, who holds both Netherlands and Morocco nationality, continues to feature for NEC in the Eredivisie. His recent outings have helped to maintain his profile in a league renowned for developing young attacking players, though specific match data, including opposition and scorelines, has not been disclosed in the latest report.
If the transfer were to materialise, a switch from NEC Nijmegen to Stuttgart and the Bundesliga could mark a significant step in Ouaissa’s career trajectory, shaping his reputation on a bigger stage and potentially opening the door to future international recognition.
