Club career

Nassir left his first club Harar City in 2016 (2009 E.C.) to join perennial powerhouse Ethiopian Coffee.[3] Nassir initially played with the club's B team before quickly working his way into the senior team.[4] In 2020, Nassir signed a contract extension with Ethiopian Coffee that would keep him at the club until 2025.[5]

In 2021 Kaizer Chiefs and Mamelodi Sundowns of the DStv Premiership have reportedly stepped up the chase for Ethiopian wonderkid Abubeker Nassir.Furthermore, both Chiefs and Sundowns are not the only teams interested in Nassir as clubs from Algeria and Egypt are also keeping an eye on him. According to KickOff, Coffee have already turned down offers from Tanzanian outfit AZAM after they had tabled concrete offers for the striker. The publication reports that Nassir also has offers in Georgia and in lower divisions of Spanish football.[6][7][8][9]
