Al Nassr Close to Signing Moroccan Striker En-Nesyri from Fenerbahçe

Moroccan international Youssef En-Nesyri could leave Fenerbahçe to join Al Nassr as early as the next winter transfer window. The Saudi club, which already has Cristiano Ronaldo in its ranks, is indeed close to reaching an agreement with the Atlas Lions striker.

While the details of the agreement have not been disclosed, the Saudi channel Al Riyadiya claims that the negotiations between the different parties are progressing favorably. A transfer to Al Nassr would allow En-Nesyri, a native of Fez, to play alongside the Portuguese star.

Arrived at Fenerbahçe last summer from Sevilla, En-Nesyri has played 17 matches in all competitions this season, scoring 4 goals and providing 2 assists.

His stay in Turkey, which was initially supposed to last until 2029, could therefore be cut short. Recall that En-Nesyri had been transferred from Seville to Fenerbahçe for an estimated amount of 20 million euros. Previously, he had spent five seasons in Andalusia, winning two Europa Leagues in particular.

Arriving in Saudi Arabia also means a very high salary of several million dollars per year.

The Saudi club Al Qadisiyah was also interested in En-Nesyri. Newly promoted to the Saudi Premier League, the club was determined to recruit the striker during the last summer transfer window. For his part, the Moroccan international had expressed his desire to remain in Europe. He had finally landed in Turkey.
