Super Eagles midfielder Tochukwu Nnadi will remain with Olympique de Marseille despite reported attention from two Premier League sides, with the decision coming as the 21-year-old looks to build a bigger role in France.
Nnadi weighs Premier League interest before committing to Marseille
Nnadi has chosen to continue his career at Olympique de Marseille, turning down the chance to move to England. The midfield option is said to have been monitored by two Premier League clubs, but the player’s priority is staying in France rather than making a summer switch.
How his Marseille move and recent form changed the conversation
The 21-year-old arrived at Marseille during the January transfer window and initially found opportunities limited. With squad availability tightened early on, his involvement did not match expectations.
That situation shifted later in the season, as injuries within the group created openings for him. As he gained minutes towards the end of the campaign, Nnadi’s performances reportedly strengthened, helping to raise his profile ahead of the new campaign.
Plan for 2026/27: win a regular spot under Habib Beye
With a new managerial chapter beginning, Nnadi’s decision is tied to the chance to establish himself as a consistent starter. He is expected to work under Marseille’s incoming coach Habib Beye during the 2026/27 season, aiming to turn his late-season momentum into a long-term place in the starting XI.
