Bilal Nadir
The comeback. After a challenge, the club's trust is his armor. It's up to him to prove that the future belongs to him.

The story of Bilal Nadir at OM is above all one of resilience. While a serious knee injury could have halted his progress completely, the club sent a strong message by extending his contract until 2026, a huge sign of trust. This gesture is significant; it places Nadir, alongside other young talents, at the heart of the club's new training strategy, integrated into the special talent development program.
This left-footed "box-to-box" midfielder has already offered promising glimpses of his potential. Last season, he made 15 appearances in Ligue 1 and even scored his first goal, showing an ability to make forward runs and be decisive. Arriving from Nice in 2021, he first honed his skills with the reserve team before making the big leap.
His challenge for the 2025/26 season is twofold: firstly, to definitively leave that injury behind and regain optimal physical condition. Secondly, he must turn the trust placed in him by management into consistent performances on the field. The competition is tough, but his profile as an energetic and technical playmaker has a rightful place in De Zerbi's rotation. He now has to seize every minute to prove that he is more than just a prospect, but a credible solution for both the present and the future.
