Nadir Hifi is close to sealing his continuity with Paris Basketball, rejecting a move to Monaco, as breaking news from Chema de Lucas on X reveals. The 22-year-old Franco-Algerian guard’s decision marks a pivotal moment, with negotiations underway to extend his stay in the French capital.
A Shift from Monaco Talks
Hifi’s choice follows May 2025 reports linking him to Monaco after his EuroLeague Rising Star award, but he opts to honor his Paris roots. His three-year contract, signed in December 2024, and a standout 39-point game in the 2022/23 Betclic Elite season underline his value, averaging 7.6 points in the 2024/25 EuroLeague.
Leadership Role Emerges
With Paris Basketball losing players like Shorts, Ward, and Jantunen, Hifi’s decision could see him step into a leadership role. His 20-point performance against Panathinaikos in his third EuroLeague game this season highlights his potential to lead the team’s fast-paced style.
