Overview

  • Hamburger SV confirmed the signing of Bilal Nadir from free agency, with the club saying the deal strengthens the squad’s midfield quality and depth.
  • German outlets reported he passed a medical and the contract is expected to run until 2030, though the club release did not publish the exact length.
  • Nadir is a Nice‑born, French‑Moroccan central midfielder who moved to Marseille from OGC Nice in 2021 and has roughly 40 Ligue 1 appearances plus about 53 games in all competitions for Marseille.
