Talbi was with Royale Union Tubize-Braine until 2015 when he joined Club Brugge.[1] In July 2022 Talbi signed a three-year professional contract with Club Brugge into 2025.[2] He started the 2022–23 season playing for Club NXT, in the Challenger Pro League, Belgian football’s second division.[3] He scored on his professional debut against SL16 FC in August 2022,[4] and again the following week against Lierse Kempenzonen.[5]

Club Brugge

[edit | edit source]

In February 2023, Talbi began training as part of the first team squad of Club Brugge.[6] This was reported as a reward for his playing form.[7] He made his league debut for Club Brugge on 18 March 2023 when he came on as a second-half substitute against KV Kortrijk.[8]

Talbi would also score his first professional goal against Kortrijk in a 3–0 away win at the Guldensporen Stadion on 14 September 2024,[9] Four days later, he made his UEFA Champions League debut as a substitute in a 3–0 loss to Borussia Dortmund.[10]

On 18 February 2025, he scored his first Champions League goals, netting a brace in a 3–1 away victory against Atalanta in the second leg of the knockout play-offs, contributing to his team's progression to the Round of 16 with a 5–2 aggregate win.[11]

Sunderland

[edit | edit source]

On 9 July 2025, Talbi signed for newly promoted Premier League club Sunderland on a five-year deal for an undisclosed fee,[12] reported to be worth £16.5 million plus a potential £2.5 million in add-ons.[13][14] Later that year, on 25 October, he scored his first goal for the club in the stoppage time of a 2–1 away win over Chelsea.[15]

International career

[edit | edit source]

Born in Belgium, Talbi is of Moroccan descent.[16] He played for Belgium U17 in the 2022 UEFA European Under-17 Championship, scoring a goal in a 3–1 victory against Turkey U17.[17][18]

On 3 March 2025, Talbi chose to represent Morocco.[19] On 19 March, after he received his first call-up to the Morocco national team he described it as a "childhood dream come true".[20]
