Nabil Bahoui, 35, returned to IF Brommapojkarna ahead of the past season, according to major media reports. He made one assist in 14 league matches last year, with one start, according to major media reports. He confirmed at the end of March that he is ending his elite career, according to major media reports. He continues to play for Fittja IF, according to major media reports. According to Fotbolltransfers, Nabil Bahoui described regretting turning down Leicester City's golden year, referring to the 2015/2016 season when Leicester City won the Premier League. Contact with Leicester was established via the national team's then-English physio Paul Balsom, according to other sources. According to Fotbollskanalen, Nabil Bahoui blames a results app on his phone for the failed transfer, as he checked statistics and thought Leicester would not have much possession. The exact terms or duration of the proposed contract with Leicester City in 2015 remain unknown, and it is unclear whether Leicester City made a formal offer.
In the 2015 season, Nabil Bahoui started at AIK and scored five goals and one assist in nine league matches. He left for Saudi Arabian club Al Ahli in the summer of 2015. People in Nabil Bahoui's surroundings contributed to his move to Saudi Arabia, according to other sources, but why they pushed for this over Leicester is unknown. Nabil Bahoui later played for Hamburger SV, Grasshoppers, De Graafschap, Qatar SC, and Persepolis abroad, according to other sources. He played eight international matches for Sweden, according to major media reports. He made his biggest impact in Sweden with AIK and BP before ending his elite career after the 2025 season, according to other sources. How his career might have differed if he had joined Leicester City remains speculative.
It's many who say 'I don't regret much'. But I actually regret that I said no to Leicester's golden year.
I checked through the app. Then they were newcomers and I thought we'll just chase. They had no possession and barely managed. I insisted a lot that it needed to be a team that had a lot of possession I would go to. So it became a no.
